4-H Xmas Party

Tonight was our annual 4-H Xmas party. It
was held at the Neubergthal hall; potluck supper
and gift exchange.

Siblings could participate in the gift exchange

as well.

It was only minus 2 and the dirt was not yet
frozen. Just a little ice to be wary of.




After and hour in the ring, it was time to call it
quits. Hopefully, there will be more days like
this, this winter!

Thanks Carrie!

Tonight we celebrated Peyton's birthday at
Rudy & Edna's.


Carrie was unable to attend, so she mailed
out Peyton's gift.


She loves it - finally, a doll that does not require
help from mom and dad to dress and undress.

Yes, this is our child. What? Doesn't every kid wear swimming goggles to bed?

Peyton Turns 4!

Blowing out her candles


Birthday supper: chicken nuggets, fries and peas



Cleo, taking in the action

Forget Dora, Peyton loves Diego!

Playing catch in the house

Her first computer...hooks up to the tv

Of course, dalmations...also a favorite!

immediately named Charlie! LOL!

This Old House

I came across these photos and had to put them in just for the heck of it. I have this grand idea of finding an old 2-storey house and renovating it. Found this one for sale way out by Tolstoi, built around the turn of the century. Curt humored me by agreeing to go check it out one day this past summer. Apparently it was still being lived in as recently as 10 yrs ago! We briefly went inside and heard this buzzing getting louder and louder. When we realized there were wasps living somewhere over/under the door, we got the heck out of there pretty fast. That's not even a project worth considering.
