CHRISTmas in the Land before Time

We are finally back, and what a better time to return, than CHRISTmas!

Today-was CHRISTmas in the Land before Time!  Simple family time, with a non-traditional feast, and play time enjoyed by two excited 4 year olds.  They were so thrilled to be at Nanny & PawPaw's house, they literally could not eat breakfast...

We arrived about 9:30 and they were raring to go...time spent outside was great.  We rode our tricycle, ran, skipped, jumped, and swung until we could hardly breathe.

Following lunch, it was time to open presents...NEW JEEPS!!! Who wouldn't love that present!  Thank you Aunt Tee, Uncle Earl and Shelby!!! We love them!!!

Tons of fun these two had riding in these! We cannot wait to come back to the Land before Time- besides this is the only place our "license" is valid!

my first Hunting trip

It was a big day... James first hunting trip with his Dad and Papa! In order to have an excellent chance to see a deer, you first have to make sure they don't see you!

Step 1:  FULL CAMO

Now, we all know- you cannot hunt on an empty stomach. 

Step 2: Load up in the Pick Up Truck, headed to a country diner for lunch

Step 3: Order a Hot Dog, Mac 'n Cheese, and Water

from the Brierfield Cafe'

Then travel back to the "hunting camp" for an afternoon of hunting with Dad. 

Step 4: grab your coat and weapon

Step 5: Always wear Safety Orange

Step 6: you might need a headlamp, to see your Snacks

Step 7: Use binoculars to help in your search

Ladies and Gentlemen: you have yourself a recipe for a fabulous day in the woods hunting with Dad.  

James stayed in the shooting house for about 1 hour before he was ready to go back to play with his Papa.  It was a wonderful time had by all !

The Sugar Plum Fairy was her favorite!
