The Holidays

Merry Christmas everyone! Our family had a great Christmas- we spent it at home, all of the Jenkinson crew came out to the house - 32 - in all. Christmas morning we opened family presents, then later that day when all the cousins arrived we did the gift exchange and dinner! We had SO much fun, this was the first Christmas that Austin really enjoyed and had an idea of what was going on. His biggest gifts were a toy double barrel shot gun that makes shooting noises, a nurf gun with suction cup bullets and then a bow an arrow. He had a hard decided which to play with! Miss Paislee's first Christmas- she was so funny. She got this girl froggy that counts and sings, she got so excited when we opened it. She started laughing and clapping= priceless. Then we ate way too much, played games and stayed up late looking through Saturday ads for any good sales that would be going on!!

Another funny face.... see the stack of pillow cases on the right! I made 25 pillow cases for presents this year! We had Dallas sister's family- the Lee's 14 in all- for the gift exchange, so i made them each pillow cases. It was so much fun - then Linda made tied fleece blankets for all of the Lee kids. So we had material everywhere up to the last hour of Christmas eve!!

Grandma Dilley's dress

This dress was made by my grandma Dilley when I was a baby, and I use to wear it. Last time I was down at my parents my mom pulled it out of her hope chest. I had totally forgotten about it. Paislee wore it this last sunday, it was so cute on her. Some things stay in style, even after 26 years! So thanks grandma, love ya

Halloween Day: Miss P helping G- Ma Jenkinson make dinner ... in a pumpkin. It is the best dinner, Scrap the guts out and then make up your stuffing, throw it in the pumpkin and then bake it in the oven. YUMMY

Yummy... she actually took a small bite out!

Carving Pumpkins. We didn't do anything exciting for halloween this year. I put Paislee in a kitty cat costume, but Austin didn't want to dress up.

A crisp chilly afternoon. Austin playing with our new dog Tank, a two year old yellow lab. Tank is alot like our first Chocolate Lab - Jake, he loves to chase after tennis balls and then go find a pool or puddle of water and lay in it. It is so funny. Dallas will hit a tennis ball with the bat, Tank will go and fetch it and then on the way back go for a swim!

Austin watched Tank run through the puddle, so he needed to do the same! Keep in mind it is about 40 degrees out!

WOOPS... he tripped and fell.

Tank - the lab Molly - the hound dog

Tis the season... for cutting wood! Dallas and a friend went out and cut 5 cords of wood this year ( a cord of wood is ) Now we just have to split and stack it. I'm so excited!! Austin helping G-Ma Jenkinson.

Austin taking a break...

on some bricks

All done for the day. Dallas started a fire and we roasted hot dogs and marshmellows! See the pile in the back thats just about half of the wood and it doesn't even give it justice.

Fish

I saw this on my cousin Michelle's blog and thought it was so cute. Feed the fish by moving the mouse and clicking it inside their little fish tank. If you see an orange dot after clicking then you feed them!! Have fun.
