Dashing Thru the Parking Lot in a One Horse Open Carriage

Last Friday night, Gram went with us to Bradley Fair to take a ride in the horse-drawn carriage. While we were waiting in line, we ran into our sister-in-law Stephanie, our niece and nephew, and Stephanie's folks. We had a nice time chatting and taking pictures of each other in front of the huge, beautiful tree while we waited. The ride was very nice (and free!) and we were provided with warm and cozy lap blankets to keep the chill off. After our ride, Gram took the kids home and kept them while Paul and I had a yummy dinner at Panera and then finished off our Christmas shopping. Gram even stayed the night and stayed up late to wrap all our gifts - which is the best "gift" she could have given me this Christmas! :)
