The Christmas Post

David surprised me with two lovely chairs for our deck for Christmas, and now my cow viewing experience will now be on a whole other level.

We had a lovely Christmas morning.  Kate opened a family gift sent to us by my parents and Sisters Meagan and Jess.

Which made everyone cry, but HD would like the records to show that he and his father did not cry, so please make sure you understand that the two of them were touched, but too manly to cry.

We will put on his burial spot.

I got each canine friend a new squeaky toy and the three dogs were over the moon excited, leaping and squeaking over piles of wrapping paper and they surely had the most joy out of everyone on Christmas Day.

Kate (surrounded by animals):  We literally live the best life ever.

We like our animals.

After the presents and shenanigans, David and the boys went out to try and take care of that pesky tree problem.

I was quite impressed that he did not destroy any buildings or fencing.  (He had removed the fencing panels where the tree fell)

Good.

Job.

David.

I watched from my lovely deck and also took the time to snap a festive photo of Matilda-

who no longer appears to be limping.

On Christmas Night, it started snowing, so that sort of counted as a White Christmas.

This morning I took Charlie and the puppy brothers on a walk to try and wear the puppy brothers out:

It worked.

They were exhausted.

They listened well and found a dead mouse and did not chase any cows.

Speaking of cows, look at these two cuties-

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with your families.  We are now switching gears to try and get ready for Kate’s upcoming 18th birthday.

Finally, here is a picture David took across the river from our river property.

Cannot wait to get back there.

Happy Saturday!

    Never a dull moment at your place! Good thing it isn’t any bigger or you might have MORE problems.

    I love your blog. Been a follower for years. Thank you for all the entertainment you give your readers. I’ve loved that you’ve had the time (how? I don’t know!) to write more often. HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and your family.

      Anna, I think her commute is shorter! And kids that have a license to drive.

      • Taylor says:

        My commute is actually LONGER! But the teen drivers help and so does that fact that we actually got WIFI. Before, we were using our phones as mobile hot spots and it wasn’t the greatest.
        Also, if I don’t keep up with it, I have a hard time writing because so much goes on/changes all the time. And I am wanting to record our family memories for the future. Thank you for reading and commenting!
