Holiday Train




We had the kids nap today and headed out at 8:30 tonight (after the Packers won) to meet the holiday train. It was a very fun time and the entertainment was awesome (Hello Willy Porter and a new fav, Sydney Grigg)! Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hmU25gF0Ig. We will definately go again in 2013 or we'll see if the train goes through Portland next year.

The Perfect Tree






How can it not be when your kids pick it out and you don't have to get off the couch?

Deer hunting




My sisters and I grew up hunting with my Dad (and Mom). This is what my Dad lives for and having had three daughters....well, let's just say we tried to fill a void. Travis, Therin, Kya and I all really appreciate the venison we receive from my parents and replace it for ground beef in most of our recipes. I haven't gone hunting in quite a few years; but my parents kept asking and I thought, "After taking care of so many kids, day after day, week after week; a silent weekend in the woods sounded heavenly." And it was. Also put some meat on the table. Our appreciation and awareness of how our food gets there is certainly made stronger. Thanks Mom and Dad for having everything ready for me and processing the meat! I won't be back next year but put me down for the fall of 2013 (maybe Travis and Therin too)!
