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. 
Alexis loves to dress up but it can't be in anything girly. She put Jer's hunting boots on and snow hat and went hunting.
Alexis LOVES this guitar. She has a mic that she can scream or sing in to. She plays while Paige dances.
Paige loves the Wizard of Oz and everytime we go over to my Grandmas house which is 1 or 2 times a week she has to watch it. Well, I thought it would be a good idea if I got it so she could watch it at home and give my grandma's VHS tape a break. This movie is very hard to find but Paige loves it and Jer and I have this movie memorized.
Alexis and Paige had a lot of fun and received a ton of gifts. Alexis is such a tom boy that she wanted Spiderman. Paige is such a little princess that she loves to dress up.
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.
Alexis was very nervous for her big performance but she did great. She didn't dance much but she started to warm up by the end and had a great time.
Alexis saying her part as the "E" in Merry Christmas. Her saying was "E is for eggnog that tastes so sweet homemade by grandma for a christmas treat." I was so stinkin' proud of her and how clear she said it. A lot of the kids you could not understand but they did dance good.
Our Future Dancer. Paige is so excited to go to school and expecially dance. She just had to get up on that stage and dance.
The last day of the muzzleloader hunt Jeremiah asked if he should go shoot a deer so we could have some jerky for our food storage. I thought it was a great idea. Here is what he came back with.
We had an exciting night over at Grandma and Grandpa Hall's house. They had haunted houses to decorate and pumpkins to carve. Jeremiah and I took over decorating the house because it is a little to hard to let a 2 and 3 year old try and build a house. 
Paige and Alexis pumping water to get the rubber duck's to move
The girls had a lot of fun racing on the track even Jer and I raced around the track
We went and watched the pig races and thoses pigs are so fast running around the pen. Well, the host of the pig show needed a volunteer so Steve volunteered me and not knowing what I was volunteered for I got up and the assistant brought over a cute little black pig for me to kiss. Wow, was I surprised but I went ahead and kissed the pig (now I can mark that off my to do list). Both Alexis and Paige got picked to stand up and cheer on their pig and they each won a pig nose.
All of the grandkids sitting in the huge rocking chair
Oh Course Alexis said she wanted to be the horse
Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for a fun filled evening
