Christmas Dinner

We had a nice prime rib dinner with family and friends and shared some good laughs especially Janice who got the giggles a lot. It is so nice to spend time with the family. We really missed Perry and Diana and hope Diana is feeling better.

Kori

Kori is going to have a lot of fun learning to play the electric guitar. She has wanted to learn to play for a long time. I hope we don't regret this one.

Courtney

It was the year of Carhartt. Courtney loved her new coat and hat.

Mark and Rachel

Mark and Rachel spent the night on Christmas Eve. We love having them here in the morning for gifts and stockings. It has become a tradition that we look forward to. They brought us a basket full of homemade goodies that was absolutly wonderful!

More snow pictures

Bruiser loves the snow. He keeps getting snow on his nose and licking it off.

The calm before the storm

The girls and I took Bruiser for a walk in the snow. We wanted to get out and enjoy it before the storm we are expecting tonight rolls in.

Gingerbread House

Kori had a lot of fun making a gingerbread house. I will get a picture of it finished soon. It turned out so cute.

Courtney and Tazzy

This is Courtney getting her first riding lesson on Tazzy. Her trainer Coral has been wonderful and taught Courtney a lot.

Duke

Duke is a 19 year old Paint and has been a wonderful horse for the girls to ride. We are doing a share lease on him. His owner is a 10 year old girl named Kyli. She has been great sharing him with us. Courtney will be showing him on the Eatonville High School Equestrian team this year. Kori just loves to ride and has overcome her fear of riding. She even canters now! We try to get to the barn as much as we can to ride. Courtney's first meet is at the end of February at the Clark County fair grounds near Vancouver, Wa. I can't wait to be able to post those pictures.
