Snowtime Activities

It's been a winter, though a somewhat mild one. There hasn't been a ton of snow, but we did get one good weekend of heavy white powder that has stuck around a bit. The boys have gotten out to ski a few times and sledding of course. Between the snow and ice and sometimes cold weather, there have been plenty of outdoor activities.

Even Drax is enjoying the wintery weather...

When ski season starts but you've got to finish your homework first...

About to hit the big hill...

Nothing like a trunk lunch...

Christmas was here!

Way back in December of 2021 we celebrated another Christmas! Time flies when you're having fun, and another holiday season came and went. This was our second Christmas in Montana and the first in our house. We did some real backwoods Christmas tree hunting, and celebrated the holidays with family!

Spent Christmas Eve with the Miller Clan... all 48 of them now! With more on the way...

Ok, not quite that many...

Turkey Day 2021

Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful, and to eat, a lot. We did it twice, with lunch at the Millers and dinner at the Unbehend's. There was plenty of turkey had by all and another wonderful family holiday!

Fall Time Activities

The boys have been busy, back in the swing of things with the school year and fall activities. Flag football came and went, as did Halloween. Paul has been busy most days with school stuff, including being on the Speech & Debate team which has taken him on travels around the state already. Otherwise, it's been a mild fall and start to winter.

A successful season!

He can argue with the best of them...

Enjoying the beautiful fall weather!

And the German Shepherd gets bigger by the day... and it takes a lot to wear him out.

Back to Halloween

Fall flew by right into winter, as it always does. The boys had another good Halloween, dressing up, getting candy and all that stuff. The candy doesn't last long around here of course, but it did last longer than the Jack-O-Lanterns. Apparently the overabundance of deer in the neighborhood enjoy fresh cut pumpkin, because they ate them all within a couple of days. Next year we'll just go with plastic ones...

Look close for the specter in the window...

It looks like the poor guy is still screaming from when they chewed his face off... I guess that's Halloween.
