Our December : Part I

Post-nap. Happy boy. 

Helping me feed chickens & restock firewood. 

Chalkboard play. 

Santa! Arlo was a little nervous but now he says "Santa" whenever he sees him. 

Hayride around Livingston. I love the Holiday Stroll. 

Thrift score. 

Afternoon walk by the river. 

Christmas card photo test run. We were looking at 3 different cameras. 

Checking out the river outside of the doctor's office. 

Audrey at 10 weeks & Barkley at 5 years. Same size. 

This is normal. 

Afternoon stroll at the dog park. 

At a friend's Christmas party. 

We bundled up and went for a drive. We drove to Big Timber & found a little trail to wander down. 

Shiiiiiit. 

Thanksgiving Weekend.

Family fun. Or something. Our neighbor gave us a deer so Dustin, Presley, & Tyson skinned & quartered it. 

Post-turkey. 

One of the Rat King's rats!

Presley's Breakdance studio was invited to perform in The Nutcracker with the Yellowstone Ballet Company. 

The little boys stayed with friends so Tyson & I could go on a date. 

Final bow. 

They decided to get a group shot as soon as they were all awake. 

Sledding at the water works building. 

& sledding in the front yard. 

Christmas Tree Huntin'

Traditionally, we wait until after Thanksgiving to get our tree but this year we hosted Thanksgiving & we wanted out home extra cozy for guests. Plus, we were pretty anxious to take Dustin & family out to get their first tree. =) 

Snowy hike. 

Waiting for Papa to cut down the tree. 

See that poor face? He fell & opened up an existing cut so we hiked back a little early. 

Me: Smile & say 'I'm a little shit'. 

Presley: I'm a little shit!

Trimmed. 

My Barkley Girl. 

He loves our "tee".
