Dickens of a Christmas Festival, Franklin, TN

Saturday we headed to our favorite little town, Franklin. They host many festivals throughout the year. They close off most of the downtown streets and fill them with artisans selling their wares and food vendors pushing the most delicious smelling street fare. We usually attended the spring festival in April but this year we learned they had a Christmas festival so we loaded up and arrived about 10:30am. Jordan had a quick snack of yogurt while our friends, Chris and Maya, joined us. Then we headed to the pony rides! So great b/c Jordan had been asking to ride a horse when she would see one. (This occurs often as our neighborhood is surrounded by horse farms!) Daddy put her up on the only female horse named Honey. And Jordan squealed in delight and whoa-ed with enthusiasm. The video says it all. After that she fed the bunnies and goats, we perused the craft booths, listened to carolers in period costumes, got a candy cane from Santa, ate at Mellow Mushroom and headed home waaaaaay past nap time. They were both asleep in the car within 5 minutes. Mom & Dad, it ain't Shatley but are you jealous! :-)
