We have something very similar here, but tickets are expensive, so we'll likely spring for it when DD is old enough to understand. </p> <p>Our weekend is pretty Christmasy. We're going to a "Christmas at the Ranch" event, tomorrow. Wreath making, caroling, and Clydesdale horse drawn carriage rides. Hopefully getting DD's picture with Santa on Sunday before a live nativity event my parents wanted to check out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-festive-plans-this-weekend#post-1280714 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 17:08:40 +0000 coopsmama 1280714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Christmas party to go to tonight and then tomorrow DH and I are going to finish up our Christmas shopping and spend some quality time together.
