Another Christmas has come and gone...

I start listening to Christmas music as soon as November begins. I have to admit, I'm a little sad that my 94.5 will no longer be playing my Christmas jams. But all in all, this Christmas was very enjoyable.

 

Our tree was apartment sized, we hosted and had dinner at our place on Christmas Day for C's family. The ham was good...now I'm testing out Linda's potato soup recipe to use it up :)

 

We spent time with my fam on Christmas Eve....Owen wore a bowtie. Need I say more? TOO.CUTE.

 

We also got some photos taken by our dear friend, Kate, from Captivating Imagery. She did an awesome job...it's almost as though we never left the property to snap these pictures.

 

 

 

We hope you had a very Merry Christmas!

 



Hunting 2013

I am pleased to announce that my tradition of getting a deer has continued. More importantly, C got his first deer this year!

 

It was actually freezing most days, but we pulled through and it was all worth it!

 

It was a pretty large Doe.

First time field dressing...always fun.

My Doe!

 

I didn't gut my own deer this time around...Trapper Ray did it for me. But this didn't come free of charge, it was in exchange for pizza for the entire clan on Friday night...which was delicious, might I add.

 

Mr. Sleeveless got his the same day as C. I was able to snag a photo of him as well. Don't be alarmed...he is wearing sleeves underneath of his sleeveless vest.

 

 

 

We now have plenty of meat to get us through until next year.

 



I don't give a Buck

Joey got his first deer this year...but the rest of us haven't had much luck, yet! Here is to hoping the weekend will change that!

 

 

And in other news...I doubt Watson will be found all Christmas Season!

RIP, Kindling

We had to say goodbye to Kindling on Saturday, the 7th. He had an existing condition that he was born with and he just couldn't fight it anymore. However, he got to spend whatever days he had living happily with Mr. Sleeveless, EJ and the Professor, of course. Not to mention the kitty playground that Mr. Sleeveless built!

 

Here's lookin at you...

 

 

 

 



I'm getting a blow up decoration for Christmas...

Once upon a time, while I was slaving away at Chick-fil-A during the Christmas Season, I would come home from work and The Sleeveless One would LITERALLY, sit by the door and flip the switch for one of those MONSTROUS blow up lawn snowman to inflate as I was walking up the driveway. Suffice to say, I am not fond of them.

 

He sent me a photo of something he wanted to get me:

 

Not only is it a huge lawn balloon, it's a hunter and it's a penguin. While the hunting part is good to go, I don't fancy Snowmen all that much either. It's kinda pricey, too. It burns up your electricity and it's loud. NO THANKS....but The Sleeveless one got a kick out of it.

 

In other news, Baby Owen is getting cuter by the second:

 

Exhibit "A" - Old man hat

 

Exhibit "B" - He can hangout

C and Owen

 

In Porchouse news, C had a break from classes so his Grandad offered to lend a hand in some minor finishing touches. He also has a workshop, which made cutting wood very easy!

Workshop in action

 

Most of the trim is now done, and all of the electrical fixtures are put into place. We also have a new furnace. Turns out, the pretty electrical one doesn't cut it when it's below zero.

 

 

Happy Hunting!
