Jeremiah finally got he Elk back from being mounted on Christmas Eve. This thing is HUGH!!! I told Jeremiah that his Elk was going out in the garage or downstairs in the basement but he had other plans. The Elk will only fit in our living room (how convienent) It measures 6 feet from top to bottom. (I know Kyle, I thought it would never happen either)









On Christmas my dad always had to give us a game or a toy so this year his idea was a little different. First my dad gave all the in-laws a present and they couldn't open it and they had to decide if they were going to accept the give or give it to their spouses to open and play the game. Well, Jer decide that he would keep the give and play the game. It was a bow and arrow and he had to hit the target and if he did he would win money. Well, as most of you know Jer is an avid hunter so this was no problem for him. Next up was me and my 2 brothers and my brother in-law, we had to hula hoop. WOW!! This was very funny to watch and play. Needless to say I didn't win much money. I have never been good at hula hooping but to add on that I am pregnant just made it more fun. Next we had to decide who was going to do the last challenge and I decided that Jer would be the best bet. They had to make paper airplanes and fly them thru the hula hoop. If they did make it in we won money. Jer didn't do so good and neither did anybody else. My parents gave us our final gift and it was a getaway up to Daniels Summit with my whole family for the weekend in February.
