Getting Into The Spirit...

We did something this past weekend that I hope will become one of our Christmas traditions. We went to West Branch Christmas Past in West Branch, IA on Saturday night. This is small community about 20 minutes east of Iowa City and it brings me back to growing up in small town Denver, Iowa! This community is the home of President Herbert Hoover's birthplace so, there is quite a bit of history there as well. We had so much fun walking through their Main Street, listening to the High School Choir sing carols, watching a Gibson train set amongst a Christmas village at the Fire Station, roasting marshmellows on the street corner, exloring the Herbert Hoover Museum grounds at night, and taking a horse and wagon ride through the grounds as well. Here are some pictures! Enjoy!
