The weatherman was forecasting 1-3 inches of snow on Friday night, but it was more like 6-8 inches when we got up Saturday morning.  It was a beautiful sight!  After clearing off the driveway, we went to the Courier Cafe for breakfast where Santa made a surprise appearance.

Even though it is close, we had never been to Hardy's Reindeer Ranch.  So Saturday afternoon we made a trek there to see the reindeer.

They also sell Christmas trees, either precut or you can cut your own.  This family was loading their tree while we were there.

Reindeer grow new antlers every year.  This one was about ready to shed his current ones.

These were the tallest antlers that we saw.

This one had shed his antlers, but not yet started new ones.
