Some scenes of Iowa Christmas

Some lovely scenes from the Tannenbaum Forest in the Amana Colonies. http://www.amanacolonies.com/

An annual festival, dozens of decorated live Christmas trees fill the 100 year old Festhalle Barn. There is also all the usual shopping, food, and German craftmanship, it was so pretty to see everything decorated for the holidays and a lovely fresh coat of snow.

We went last weekend...even saw Santa ;)
