Grandma and Grandpa's Annual Old Fashioned Holiday Hayride...

Last night was my grandparent's annual Holiday (carolling) Hayride through Empire Ranch. The night started out with a fun gathering for drinks and dinner, then everyone got into the truck for a good old fashioned hayride through the neighborhood. Last year I was too small to go at all. This year because I'm getting over a cold and had a very rough day I was able to go, but I had to be in the truck with the heater, sweater, and big coat on. I was able to get out and join Julie, Dean, Hannah, Jack, Daddy and Grandma for only a couple of minutes.

I was grandpa's co-pilot helping to honk the horn and say Merry Christmas to passers by. My mommy also rode in the car because she didn't want to be in the cold.

Everybody else bundled up and got warm drinks. There were plenty of tunes to sing. All though the singing was a little off. Everyone sang when there was no one around and didn't know what to sing when someone did come outside. Also there was a lot of trying to sing difficult, can't remember the words to the song, type Christmas music which made for a great laugh! I laughed, I cried and at one point I announced to grandpa and mommy 'No more singing!' We made our way back to Grandma and Grandpa's house. I was so tried. I started telling daddy on the way home that I was 'sleepy!'
