After Christmas Tradition

Every December we head to Micah and Jennifer's house. We enjoy our friends. This year the Fry's had a wedding to attend over New Years so we had to cut our time short and just accept that they have "other" friends/family as well. Karl and Micah enjoyed their time playing in the shop and outside in Micah's new shop. Jennifer and I enjoyed being in the house with four kids. They are so much fun together. It was actually nice enough to let them venture outside! That was NICE! Thank you Micah for taking my husband out and working him. Thank you, Ava and Max for sharing your new house and toys with Kaden and Leland! Thank you Jennifer for feeding us and letting us make your house home for a day or two!

Max (a fast moving little thing on his knees)
Ava and Kaden eating lunch with the t.v. on. We turn ours off at home. He did well eating at Ava's house....may be we should turn the t.v. on.

Our plan was to head from the Fry's to St. Louis, MO. But, I forgot four bottles and one large package for Christmas. So, plans changed and my husband was flexible and loving about having to go BACK through Paris. Mom was ok with the change in schedule as well. We arrived around 4 pm on Thursday. It was still light and dad had called to ask if we would go feed. WOOHOO! Kaden was excited!
Ready to go to the barn. I had only packed long sleeves for Kaden. It was 75 one day while we were in Texas on our Christmas vacation! Poor Kaden. He never complained.
Karl playing hard head with the goat. Karl won...imagine that!!! He was not super excited about going over the fence and helping the goat, but he did. This was the second goat he had to free!
Most of the kids in this pen were still small enough not to run away. Kaden loved picking them up. The older kids were smarter and just ran like mad from him! Kaden like chasing them...until he got caught and was told to stop!
Leland...in DECEMBER...in a onesie...outside. I miss Texas weather (it is -1 here today as I write this on January 19th). Sweet smile. He just sat and watched all the commotion.
Dad had been on the road Thursday and had some work to do that evening. Kaden was interested in his scanner and wanted to lend a helping hand. Da, being the patient man he is allowed him to even though momma said "no". He listens to other so well. Kaden is a wonderful kid and I can't wait to have a place where we can entertain some animals...learn some good old responsibility! Hate we had to spend more time in the car...loved that we got to have another day with mom and dad (I think we saw them for 4 hours...all of it counts)!
