 Mt. Shasta, from the farm. Andy said this picture wasn't photo-shopped, but the mountain sure looks close!
 Gail Hopson delivering milk. This was his typical look during the years I was growing up.

The back of the hill, leading down to the creek. This was part of my cross-country track when I was in high school. You never knew what you might run into, like dead cows!

CHRISTMAS 2012

 Joey and Katie arrived in time to go to church with us the Sunday before Christmas. Jackson wasn't too sure about the nursery at first, but when they started getting snacks out, he got happier!
 He liked feeding the ducks at the park, but before he could let go of a piece of bread, he had to take a bite out of it first.
 This is a cute little family!
 Christmas Eve Day with the girls.
Christmas Eve

 I love this picture of Abby and Kelsey.
 The doll was a big hit with Lilly.
 One of our school board members brought these mouse cookies to our cookie exchange. I kept them in the freezer for a week, then put  the cookies out on Christmas Eve. Leave it to Ethan to eat it this way!
 Joey and Jackson in their plaid shirts!
 The Ellsworth Boys.
 Jackson liked opening presents, but looks a little puzzled here about why he's getting so many-
 Jackson wanted to kiss Bella all the time. She was a little hesitant, but she liked him too!



 On New Year's Eve Day, Carly's family went out to Yucaipa with us where we visited Katy's family, and then went up the canyon to play.



 There was snow up there, which the kids were excited to play in-



 


 After we all got really cold at the park, we went to a pizza place where we ate and got warmed up. Lilly, Bella, and Audra liked running around together there.


Since the kids didn't have enough of being together, Carly went out and picked up Skylee and Hunter Wednesday, so they could spend the night and have more cousin time.

 
The little girls thought Skylee was great, and each wanted to have some snuggle time with her before they went to sleep.
