Making Fairy Houses at Watch Me Draw Art Studio - Lakeville, MN

Dear Diary,

One weekend morning, we woke up to 4" of fresh snow on the ground, but that didn't stop us from a fun morning at Watch Me Draw Art Studio!

Madelyn attended her friend's birthday party (it explains why we were there, but I've opted to not include the images of the other children in attendance) and they built fairy houses.






Watch Me Draw Art Studio is a creative, inspiring shop that encourages it's guests (adults and children alike) to explore their imagination. The space was bright and colorful, a welcome contrast from the gloomy weather situation happening just outside.


 Adding some fun finishing touches to her fairy house...





Many of the pictures taken of the displays were shot by Madelyn - she's developed quite the interest in photography lately. It's a good thing Santa will be bringing her a camera for Christmas this year!

2016 Canadian Pacific Holiday Train - Hastings, MN

Dear Diary,

The #CPHolidayTrain is in its 18th year, and we've watched it come into Hastings for 5 years now.

Even with the cold, it's become a bit of a holiday tradition for us. This is also a charity initiative that benefits the local food banks. It's pretty cool knowing that all of the donations and food collected stays within the community.


There is always quite the crowd gathered.

One of the cars folds open to a stage, where we were treated to live music. Obviously it was of the festive variety.


Until next year!
