There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labor. This also I saw was from the hand of God. Ecclesiastes 2:24

Christmas 2014

Finally, here's our Christmas pics before I don't get them posted. ;-)
We had dinner and spent the afternoon with Sarah's family: Dad, Mom, Josh, Isaac, Hannah, Chloe, Grandpa and her folks respite man, Steven.

After we ate, gifts started with the biggest.
A labor of love from Grandpa Hustad
- a rocking horse!

 

The uncles.

Pleased as punch with a much wanted rolling pin!
Grandma gave her a baking set and Mommy's old childhood rolling pin. :-)

My crafty Dad carved these little serving forks for me :)


Grandpa and great Grandpa


Aunt Hannah is behind us

Aunt Chloe

Looking at cards Grandma got, with Grandpa and Grandma

A few days after Christmas we went to
Rotary Lights in The Park with Uncle Isaac and
Uncle Marcus. Doretha really enjoyed it!



New Year's eve we drove by a local residence that is decked out every year. We made it just minutes before the lights all went off at 10 pm! Some of it was already off but we still enjoyed what was left!



So ended 2014 for us. 

Our next focus, the benefit auction and supper! 
I'll get the details up this week and check back about Tuesday next week to get a peek at our auction items!

Happy 2015!!

We have started the year off well so far!
New Years day saw an increase to the guinea pig population:

Meet, Corncob:

Angel:

And Chickadee!


We now have 8!! Doretha has agreed to parting with the 3 oldest offspring  -
To contribute to the adoption fund. :)

January 2nd gave us a new heifer calf:
 
This is Rosetta.
(Her mother is Rose.)

As of this morning, Winter made a small attempt to be his season but half of it is melted.
We have been soaking this mild winter in.
Monty has been busy getting the sawmill ready.
It has also been SO nice not calving in really cold weather.
Our large (9) batch of calves last month had to deal with damp weather though and that's hard on cows and calves alike.
But we have been blessed, so far, with a resilient herd. :-)
We have just one to calve left this month now.

I intend to do a Christmas post yet.
I am waiting on my brothers pics to add to it.
Until then I will leave you with this:


Happy New Year!!
