We had a good Christmas at Mom and Dads, the weather was certainly better this year. Spent quite a bit of time outside and had lots of good food.

This is from opening day of pheasant hunting season. We didn't run into a lot of birds, but got most of our limit and it was a nice day. Nick and Kristen were up from Omaha with their dogs, Maddie and Ellie.

Christmas Eve

We had a good Christmas weekend at Mom and Dad's. Nick made it back from Omaha and Jason and Amanda were around all weekend. Above is Nick with a video camera that he got. Below is a grandma sweatshirt that Mom got.

Molly really wanted a closer look at the fur lined hat that Nick got Dad. She kept a close eye on it. Jason and Amanda having a good time unwrapping gifts below.

Catching up this weekend with a few photos. Above is Dad and Mom on Sept. 3rd - their 50th Anniversary. We had a supper get together at Mavericks for them.
Below is Mom making kuchen. It was a nice cool weekend on Labor Day, so we got lots of tomato sauce, salsa and kuchen made.

This is at Aunt Joyce's in Denver. Mom and Dad came out to the buffalo roundup and then picked me up and we drove on to Joyce's in Denver. We had a good time and good food and good weather.

Christmas eve at Mom and Dad's.

This is all from Christmas eve and day and Mom and Dad's.  We did make it out to the 7pm church service fine last night  but we are pretty much snowed in today.  I'll try and take a few photos of the snow later.

A visit on Mom's birthday.

Frank and Lenora made it back to South Dakota this week for a visit. I was lucky enough to catch them for the couple of hours I was there while passing through for work.
They caught up with us a dinner at the Flame, where we went out for Mom's 70th birthday.

I didn't take a whole lot of photos this year, we were just busy running around it seems.

Below, this is the only photo that the dog, BJ, was looking at the camera. I didn't get one where everyone was looking or not blinking, so I choosing this one just for BJ.
