It was a great night to visit the Budweiser Clydesdales at Warm Springs Ranch in Boonville. It was not too busy this evening and it was not too cold outside.

There were a few horses outside that would walk right up to you to be petted.

There were also lots of picture opportunities as most of the main grounds have lights.

On the inside, there were many more Clydesdales to see, including J.Lo and her baby, Justice.

As we wandered through the stables, we realized that we saw some of these horses two years ago when they were just babies. They are definitely much bigger now! We also had our picture taken with X-Man.

It was a fun night that served as the perfect start to our Christmas holidays. The kids are out of school until January 4!

We have two new ornaments on our Christmas tree this year. This one is from our summer trip to Colorado.

This one is from Battlefield Lavender, and it is filled with lavender buds.

We have a few more that will be added on Christmas morning.

I love Sunday night dinners in our Dining Room.

This afternoon, Troop 706 and Troop 523 presented wreaths to the American Legion Post 202 Honor Guard. This group of men have assisted in over 60 funerals of military veterans this past year.

When they return to the American Legion Post, they share a toast in remembrance of the veteran. Today, Laura and John were able to raise a glass of Hawaiian Punch as well, and then spend time talking to these men about their military service and how they assist now. Both kids really enjoyed it and it was an important experience for all the Scouts.

The West Middle School Winter Band Concert was this evening.

The bands have come so far especially given that the last band concert at West Middle School was 733 days ago.

All the bands sounded great and it was fun to watch!
