Well Christmas pretty much snuck right up on me this year. I guess it was the big Thanksgiving that threw me off. I was sick for about a week after and couldn't get off the couch. Stomach troubles! I am finally feeling a little better, stomach isn't 100% though.
I just put up my Christmas tree yesterday, we went to the Mogollon rim and cut a beautiful white fir down. We saw a little teeny bit of snow. I haven't done the Christmas decorating that I normally do though, no lights outside yet, not holly and ivy strewn about the house, not even a twinkle light anywhere but on the tree. I guess that is what happens with 4 kids!
I have been busy with those kids, of course, Roman spent all weekend with terrible hives and I never did figure out what caused them, then Mattie is either Happy Mattie or Very Mad Mattie, and that can take up some time. I made two batches of cookies on Friday and we took them on our tree trip and they were all over the back of the truck when we got there, the container busted! So I haven't made any more, I was pretty mad! I made my own tamales today, Red chili pork tamales. I haven't tasted them yet, so...
There was about 50 people at my house on Thanksgiving. Pretty good day. It rained, but everyone was still able to go out and enjoy the animals, and some even played a round of "Buddy in the middle".I had my sister and her family stay for the whole week of Thanksgiving as well. We had a really nice time with them. My brother in-law made a door for our shed and really helped get that thing going. Now I just have to get my husband to finish it. My nephew Owen had a blast here, I think he burned every tumble weed on our property (supervised of course) and was driving around in Romans jeep a lot. Cliah and Ella were up in Cliahs room doing girly things the whole time. All the girls go to go see Saltimbanco, a Cirque de soleil show, it was really amazing! Would definately recommend it!
Other than all that, haven't been up to much..
