This Papa and Gigi thoroughly enjoyed our trip east
to spend time with our family for the Holidays.
We spent time with both daughters, their husbands,
and our grandsons.
The weekend before Christmas,
Mama planned a day trip to the Yankee Candle Village.
It was only a 30 minute drive from their home.
If you are ever visiting in the Springfield, MA area,
I highly recommend spending the day at this site.
There is so much to see,
a maze of beautifully decorated rooms.
The Vintage Red Pickup is everyone’s favorite,
especially when it is filled with Teddy Bears.
There’s a station for children (and the young at heart)
to dip their own holiday candle.
Henry thinks, maybe next year I’ll be old enough to do that, too?
With close supervision, Jack dipped his candle in the hot wax,
and then in the cold water.
It was soon dry enough to wrap in plastic to take home.
So many charming trees and lights.
Papa and Daddy were pleased to find a Family Friendly Brewery
on site. It was time for some lunch.
Mama had packed a little finger food
to satisfy the boys until our order was ready.
Plenty of tasty menu items there included
pizza, wraps, soups, and salads.
After lunch, Jack and I went outside to sit in the oversized rocking chairs
to watch the oversized snowflakes that were falling from the sky.
Please enjoy these photos from the Yankee Candle Village Website.
When one comes in the main entrance, there is a General Store.
You can find the perfect gift for everyone on your list.
Of course, around every corner there are plenty of
Yankee Candles, in every scent that you can imagine.

I found my favorite in here…
The Cafe Al Fresco.
Another favorite display, The Candy Bar…
Jars and Jars of Vintage Candy.
Santa purchased some to put in my stocking!
It was a delightful way to spend our day.
Ya’ll come back now! Ya Hear?
Take care,
