Dairymom's Thankful Thursday

It wouldn't seem like Christmas without a cow on our Christmas tree!

I love all of our ornaments but I must say this cow is my favorite

 because she was a gift from my mother-in-law many years ago.

A great reminder  that 

 dairy traditions run deep!

During this Christmas season down on the dairy farm, 

I'm thankful for the cows on the tree and in the field,

 the cookies and milk,

and 

for making more dairy traditions and memories 

with my cookie eating Hattie Claire!

Merry Dairy Traditions

Our Christmas tree is full of ornaments that have been lovingly

 received as gifts from friends and family over the last thirty-two years.

Placing these special ornaments on the tree each year is 

an important part of our family tradition, a celebration of friendships

 and a thankfulness for the relationships of those who are no longer with us.

These two ornaments always bring a smile to this  dairy farmer!

Christmas Day on the dairy farm will be busy as usual  as we 

 milk the cows, make sure all the cows and calves are fed 

 and add the usual fun family Christmas traditions

 of eating a lot and opening presents.

A merry  day on the dairy  indeed!

Merry Christmas!
