Friday was the Elmo and Friends Show with cousin Travis and Aunt Laurel. This was a Birthday gift KIRA was so excited to be able to share with mom. Travis and Kira love to be together!
Saturday was our chance to cut a couple trees in the mountains. Bart hesitated this year to drive as far as we normally do... so we ended up on the old Davis Ranch in Rist Canyon. BIG MISTAKE! We chose to go to the end of the property and had the most dangerous time scaling up and down and around boulders. We all thought we were going to die... Kira even slid off the rock we were doing photos on while Daddy climbed ahead. I fell, Bart fell three times and came back down the cliff side. I ended up cutting this year's tree for upstairs... it was out of pure desperation. I cut it mid-air with little footing, once cut I had a heck of a time pulling down the obstacles without falling. Bart had his own challenges trying to keep Kira safe in her sledging DOWN the cliff: ) We had no interest in looking for our nice living room tree and resigned to buy one at LOWES. It will work, not as tall as we are used to and TOTALLY annoying with thousands of needles dropping BUT we can say it is officially Christmas time now! Next year we will not only be healthier but smarter too!
Sunday we had Ryan and Carey and their three kids over for dinner. Ryan is my hero, he is such a good supporter of Bart and they have been lifting and exercising at 5am since Thanksgiving Break was over. Not only do they have the family connection, but they both have worked for Walker, love the Lord, and are technically inclined. They can be total nerds as long as we don't have to talk computers with them! I roasted a couple chicken, shredded them and put the meat in a crock pot with BBQ sauce. It has made MANY meals! I hear Brady calls Kira "Carrot," she sure wants the kids to come back and play more. We plan to start playing games here monthly with Bart's cousins and all the kids can play and watch a movie upstairs: ) Any game suggestions... Jacob hopes for Apples to Apples and of course may bring the Wii from home: )
