December....#1

I have really struggled to get my words together over the past month.  So, today, I decided that I would do a few different posts about the busy, busy month of December.

Major Event #1 this month....Carson's big Eight Pointer.
Carson and Daddy went hunting together.  I would have loved to been in the blind watching Carson.  Poor Mackenzie went with her daddy soon after and didn't see anything except the back of her eyelids!  Soon, she will get to go hunting for her doe during extended season.

 

 

Major Event #2 this month....Carson's Christmas Program at Apple Garden. 

Preschool programs are such a delight to watch.  The innocence and joy in the kiddos' eyes is priceless.  Carson was all about hamming it up.  Once again, he puts the ham in CunningHAM!

 

 

Major Event #3....Christmas Festivities Begin at the Ottawa Fire Department.

My hubby volunteers with the Ottawa Fire Department.  But, you would never know that he is a volunteer rather than one of their full-time guys.  The OFD boys treat him like he is one of them.  And, they treat our family the same way.  This year, we came to see the brotherhood in new light with the passing of our William.  Many of the OFD boys served as honorary casketbearers and provided a service that a fallen firefighter receives when they pass.  Our William was ushered to his final resting place with OFD holding him steady in our firetruck.  And, because of the bond, the kids and I went to the OFD Christmas Party.  Poor Chris (and my brother) had to make an emergency trip to North Dakota to pick up a broken truck of ours.  So, Chris missed Santa and the OFD antics! 

Fireman Chris is a hero at our house!!  Just ask Carson!
