What did you do today?

[Nanno]

Phil and I took the boys out for a practice drive yesterday afternoon. We're planning to be in the Beulah Christmas parade on Friday but we haven't driven the boys since the State Fair parade back in August. They did awesome. Finn likes to pull a bit too hard when he thinks we're headed back to the truck, and Sputnik has learned that he can slack off whenever Finn is barging ahead, so Finn ends up pulling the carriage all by himself a lot of the time. I'm sure if we drove them more often he'd quickly learn to be patient and wait for Sputnik to pull with him. But neither of them is disobedient or wild, so I think they should be fine for the parade. Can't wait to get the carriage decorated! It looks so elegant even without lights. I'm going to sit up front as the elf driver while Santa sits in the back seat and throws candy.
