Craziness!!!!!!!!

We have been going nonstop since Thanksgiving! The highlights have been of course St. Nicks Day. The kids each received their treats plus a potato. Wyatt deducted that St. Nick gave the potato because we did not have homemade cookies made for him. ( I'll try to do better next year!) The next week we had 4H meeting, I gave the Clover Bud Christmas party and 4H arts and crafts meeting. The kids made the cutest picture frames. The Christmas party turned out super nice. The kids made a couple of ornaments and we learned about St. Nick and other Christmas customs around the world. The animals have been lambing and kidding. We are almost all through. We have a little bottle baby named Nick. His mama wanted him but did not produce enough milk. She's a first timer. It's been pretty cold out here. We had sleet on the Clover Bud Christmas party. Preston gave a horsemanship clinic at the livestock meeting last Sunday. Jody & Larry came to visit last weekend. It was so much fun spending time with them. They are planning on making this a yearly trip and Preston is supposed to find Larry a hunting lease out here. They have a beautiful travel trailer and we even got to go over for a barbecue that was DELICIOUS! This past week, I worked on coordinating the elementary school Christmas party. It was pulled off without a hitch. The kids had a wonderful time! I was so excited! Lots of work, but they had a great time! We leave tomorrow for New Braunfels and will be there through Sunday. I know I'm all over the place. Sorry, I'll be better organized next post. Everyone have a beautiful Christmas and a blessed New Year! Hope to see most of you in the next few days! Love you all!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was fast and furious! We had a wonderful day! Marie's coil went out on her stove. So, we did all of my cooking and her's over here. We were hauling food back and forth all day long! But, it was worth it. It turned out wonderfully. Paige, Shawn & Katelynn came down to share in the day! It was so wonderful seeing them and I caught Katelynn's first steps on film at Marie's house before they left. Shyanne was head over heels for Katelynn of course and cried when it was time for her to leave. She helped me put up the Christmas tree while the boys were shoeing so that helped bring her out of the dumps. We had a lot of fun! Wyatt & Dakota went with Preston to shoe horses on Friday. Saturday & Sunday morning, Wyatt & Preston went hunting. Preston said that it is like hunting with a spider monkey. Wyatt is so excited! I hope he gets his deer. Dakota is getting ready for Santa! He's been wanting to wear his Christmas sweater for a month. We have e-mailed Santa and he would really like to talk to Santa to make sure he's got everything straight. We unloaded 205 pointsettias yesterday for the 4H. Shyanne will be going to Rankin on Thursday for the UIL competition. Please keep your fingers crossed for her. And of course St. Nick comes Saturday so I've got to finish painting their ornaments. Have a blessed week! Happy Holidays!
