Christmas Open House

The Culpeper Open House was Sunday afternoon- a beautiful day. After the big kids left for Harrisonburg, we took Abby to story time at the Depot to hear Christmas tales for toddlers and then walked around Davis Street. All of the decorations are out and the high school band was playing on the veranda at Hazel River Inn. Many churches and stores had crafts for kids and Christmas cookies. Abby was very brave riding the Trolley through town!
Sharing Orange Blossoms and lemon pound cake at Tea, Lace and Roses.
Outside Hazel River Inn...where Bono ate before his Charlottesville concert in Oct!
Meeting the authentic Santa at Pepperberries on main Street. Abby was VERY brave and asked him for a "pink Hello Kitty." She and Santa had the same color eyes and he showed her his red and white striped socks!
Brushing the miniature horses outside the depot.
