Christmas Break - The Hog

It was a cold evening and Jacob wanted to go hunting, so we went hunting.  Hogs have been doing damage on the property so we hoped to do our part....

As soon as one came into sight, I found that Jacob was asleep and the hog ran off.  He came back later and Jacob gave the all-clear to shoot.... 

.....and we dropped him right in the middle of the mud, of course.  

With a little ingenuity, we finally got rid of that hog.

Christmas Break - Some Presents

Noah.....You weren't quite sure what to make of an apple slicer for Christmas; however....

.....you did like your new bike.

Jacob....You thought those socks were pretty cool but.....

...that new bat was more like it!

Christmas Break - Atari

Christmas Eve saw Noah and Jacob open up their new Atari Flashback.  Given that it didn't have the name XBox or Playstation, they weren't quite sure what to make of it.  They quickly gravitated towards Space Invaders, Frogger, and perhaps their favorite, Outlaw.  

Needless to say, they loved it.

Christmas Break - Christmas Eve

We found a nice Christmas Tree for a picture after the service....

.....and we even got one with just ourselves.....

....we threw the football around and the kids loved it.....

...Jacob learned about his new tackle box....

.....and this post-Christmas picture captured the sheer joy of Grandma's homemade bread and jelly!
