Merry Christmas from Wellman!

It was a perfect Christmas Eve weather wise.  We had a great snow.  See the white spots in the picture?  Those are snowflakes.  It was falling softly all day.  Just what I like to see.  The lights were twinkling and looked great.

For those of you who never see our house at Christmas, the outside is Bud's job.  He may moan and groan, but really he enjoys the lights and is always on the lookout for something new.

We do kind of have a theme of red and white in our decorations, except the trees are multi colored.

We were alone for the first time since we've been married.  We decided to go to town about two yesterday afternoon and run some errands.  Then we went to the four o'clock show which was cheap since they obviously thought Bud was a senior citizen and only charged us $8.00!!!  LOL  We saw Lil Fockers which wasn't good.  Don't waste your money.  In fact Bud woke me up during it!  We then came home and ate our Christmas Chinese food and watched another stupid movie--SALT.  We're going to have to rethink  Christmas Eve next year.

I hope you had a good Christmas!

Sunday at the Graham's

Have been busy getting ready for Marybell's toy give away. We are giving some really fun gifts away this year,including 8 trampolines, 2 swing sets, 2 motorized ford escalades. We did take some time out for family pictures. At the last minute the photogher canceled. We were all dressed in our Sunday best . Thank goodness Becca's Mom Kathy was here and came to our rescue. She took some at our house and the tree lot. Here are a few. Did not realize how hard it is to get everyone together at one time and one place. After pics we went trap shooting. It was Nessa's first time and boy did she kick the boy's butts. I am not joking, she rocks. We then did a little target shooting with everyone's pistals. The last to shoot was Chase with his new 44 mag revolver. While shooting metal targets a bullet rekicheted (misspelled) and hit him in the hand.He spent the next 5 hours in the emergency room and still has the fragment and a few stitches for his trouble. Hope we see our Santa and his helper in the next few

weeks.

Great Family & Friends

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and remembered to count their blessings, big or small! We had a busy few days. On Thanksgiving day, Clint, Brittany, Rory, Evan, Dakota and a family friend, Nick Becker, was at our house for dinner. Everyone ate too much and then had a lazy afternoon watching a movie.

On Saturday Bud, Kim, Mike, Payton, Kyle, Travis, Kerry & Chance came to cut up wood. A few friends of ours, Chad, Junior and Ben were also here to help. Clint and Chad had marked trees a week ago, so they knew ahead of time which trees to cut down. They all started very early and quit when it got dark. Tasha, Kim, Kerry & I made plenty of food to keep the guys full. It was a long day and alot of hard work was done. Dale even managed to drive the tractor some in the morning. No one was injured, but there are alot of sore muscles today from all the hard work. We are guessing that the wood pile could possibly last us until February.

We have alot to be thankful for this thanksgiving and after the year 2010, we know what great family and friends that we have.

Love
Kath & Dale

Chance

You know I couldn't let a little thing like a black eye get in the way when I wanted to take pictures. Besides, I have a feeling this is what things are going to look like around our house for quite some time to come!

Now before you start thinking everything we do is sports related, he did get a book out to read! His farm book, of course.

He is growing up so fast, but we are enjoying every minute of it.

Grandma Bev and Great-Grandchildren

We had most of the great grandchildren at our house Saturday. (We were missing Kadelynn and Chance.) This was the best picture I could get. Hopefully someone else has better ones.
