Ben's BIG kill

After Christmas, we went down south to hunt. Ben and Clay went hunting and this is what they "bagged"

The 2 proud hunters

The scale speaks for itself.

Christmas at our house

Opening gifts from Uncle Kent

Below this picture:  family hanging out with us on Christmas Day

The pictures posted backwards.  This is the kids waking up Christmas morning to find their Santa goodies.

Above this is the letter from Santa telling them that they had more goodies downstairs....drums and guitars.

Christmas with PaPa and MiMi

MiMi, Daddy with "Butt Quack" boxers, cousin LJ, and C with cousins J and J.
The #1 thing on C's Christmas list was "Pirate ship Legos" and Mimi and PaPa gave them to him. He was SOOO excited he started crying and ran and hugged MiMi and PaPa as tight as he could. It was so sweet.

The girls really wanted American Girl dolls but they didn't have dolls that matched both their eye and hair colors. MiMi found My Twinn dolls that were made to match a picture that she sent in of the girls. They were very excited to have a little twinn.

Christmas party at school

The girls were wearing dresses that they designed (and I sewed)
Opening their "stocking stuffers" that they gave each other.

All of the students pitched in to buy their teacher, Mrs. J, a new mini fridge for her classroom b/c she has a bad ant problem. They brought her to tears.

M, on the far left and Z and C on the far right.
