Goose Hunting

Matt has a new spot he can go duck and goose hunting at.  On a Sunday evening, we decided to try it.  Dave and his brother in law came out too.  Matt was excited to show us the blind and it was nice to see what he tries to explain to me. :)  Lily has been hunting with Daddy a few times this year already. :)

I love these family moments.  I know at times, my picture taking can be annoying...but these moments are so priceless!

We didn't see much and therefore didn't get any. :(  We enjoyed our time there before it got dark.  We then ate supper at Dave and Chris' house.  Thank you!

Doniphan Christmas performance

The Rubies performed at the Doniphan Christmas.  We were smart this time and planned on eating the chili from the chili cook off.  There was some great ones, interesting ones, and weird ones. :)  Lily did a great job performing and the kids got to see Santa!

When she is nervous, lying, or embarrassed, she has this look.  :)  What a sweetheart!

Cartwheels!

Great job girls!

The Rubies with Ms. Sherri

When Santa came, Lily was excited and Hudson had mixed feelings.  Matt prompted him.  He told him to ask Santa how many reindeer he has.

 
He just stared him down and in a monotone voice said "how many reindeers you have?"

Lily all smiles and Hudson was just baring with us. :)

Merry Christmas!

At least he sat with him.

Still not too sure

Lily told him what she wanted.

Hudson said, "ttttooooyys" really nervous.  

Silly kids.  They wanted to get in line again because they noticed Santa now had candy.  ha ha!

Adventures of Eddie the elf

Eddie came back!!!  Lily was so excited for him to come and she was always the first one up to see where he was.  She counted down the days for when she got to hug him goodbye.  Hudson enjoyed him too!  It was fun to hear the two of them talk about what he has done.  They also try to look at him really close.

Lily saw this and was standing on the carpet.  She started reading:

"nosduh dna...."  

I had to tell her to move to the other side so she could make sense of his message. ha ha!

This was Hudson's favorite.  Eddie had a zip line to the kitchen light.

Until next year, Eddie! 

Newell Christmas Party!

We had our Newell Christmas party the beginning of December at Erin's house.  We had a great time!  Matt and I were late, so we weren't able to eat there.  We did partake in Bunco!  :)

The ladies of Newell.

The ladies and Clint and Andrew.

What a fun group of people to work with!

Check out the Bunco tables!

I finally made it up to the head table! :)

Oh Clint....

That's better!

We made it to the head table again!!!  We actually won one game! :)
