Tiny Reindeer

Our little reindeer met a a few of Santa’s reindeer this weekend! Hudson was OBSESSED with them and wanted to climb in to the cage and play!

These reindeer were super sweet and put up with a lot of kids petting their noses.

Meet Blitzen.

My husband and I really wanted to take them both home. And apparently reindeer are herding animals (who knew?) and do best in pairs or a pack. So Santa, I’d like two reindeer please!

Our best attempt at a photo. It was sort of crowded.  The reindeer owner guys have like 15 reindeer at their farm and it’s not too far from us…..so we might just hop on over for a real visit after Thanksgiving.

 Hudson could have watched them all day. This boy loves animals just like his mama.

We were going to pick up our Christmas tree but someone had an epic meltdown when we had to leave our reindeer friends! Hopefully we will see them again soon!

    We tried to go to a holiday tree lighting this weekend, but it was too close to bedtime, so we had to nix that idea. I'm glad you guys got to go!

    Your little man is growing up so fast! I laughed out loud when I read about his 'epic meltdown' as I have experienced the same with both kids and grandkids. We love your posts and appreciate you sharing.

    No way! A real reindeer?! I don't even think I've seen a real one. I'd have a meltdown too if I had to leave that. Couldn't you just take him home with you for a little while? 🙂
