Let me start this post by asking one little question: Is that the cutest freakin' baby you've ever seen? Or what? I think I know the answer to that one.
Well, I think we successfully navigated the Christmas gauntlet around here with no casualties. Becky tells me that Tate told her that this was "the best Christmas EVER!!!" for the second year in a row. That's good to hear. We bounced from get together to get together and enjoyed every second of it. All of the food and family was great. We made Christmas cookies with the kids on Wednesday this week and it's fun to do with all of them here.
We ended up with ninety cookies and man were they delicious!!!! It was getting late and we put the kids to bed and then Becky frosted them and I tested a few to make sure they weren't poisonous or anything. I wouldn't want anyone to get sick so I sacrificed my own safety to be sure that those cookies were safe for all.
I got several books for Christmas that I'm very excited about! First, Becky got me the latest book by Joel Salatin entitled "The Sheer Ecstasy of Being a Lunatic Farmer". I absolutely love the title and can't wait to dive into it head first. He is always funny and always has a lot to teach about farming in his books. My mom got me a book by author Tim Lahaye called "Revelation Unveiled". It's a book designed to study the book of Revelation. It goes through section by section of Revelation and deciphers the symbolism and takes a look at the prophecies that are made and goes into great detail about it all. Then thirdly my grandma got me a book called "Country Wisdom and Know-How". I've literally been stalking this book for like a year at Border's. It is chocked full of info. It covers everything from gardening, to cheese and soap making, to skinning animals and has recipes for 'coon, 'possum and woodchuck too! It seems to cover just about anything you could want to know about good ol' country living. I can't wait for a minute to spend one on one with this treasure trove of information, though I don't think we'll be having 'possum pie in this house anytime soon. Good night and I hope everyone had a great and merry Christmas!!!!
