Barnyard Readers - Christmas on the farm

Today was our last session of the Barnyard Readers program at Living History Farms.  The topic for today was Christmas on the farm.  We took a horse-drawn carriage ride out to the 1900 farm where the kids made a quick loop to see all the animals, and then we went inside the farmhouse to get out of the cold.  Inside, the kids read a Christmas story and then made paper chains to decorate the Christmas tree.  Both Jack and Katy had a blast making the paper chains.  We were a little sad for the program to be over, but are already looking forward to next year!
