What a wonderful Christmas to be with family and friends. We had lunch with Julie Baldwin who we hadn't seen in years. Then another two nights with Christopher. We brought in the new year with Mike & Melissa, Jim and Jenette.

What a wonderful Christmas full of special memories. Thank you Matt, Terri, Jesse, Rachael and Elijah. The children thought they would surprise the adults but it back fired we all out smarted them Christmas morning.

Papa was busy building a goat stanchion for Rachael to milk the goats and clip their hooves. Jesse and Elijah had him building airsoft gun boxes to store their guns. Nana was kept busy playing board games and Rachael finally beat Nana at Chess.

We had snow off and on during our visit, up to two inches just enough to make a couple of snowmen. Beta loved the snow but the goats stayed in the shed. The chickens and ducks didn't seem to mind the snow.
