Getting the Tree
Here are some pictures of us getting our tree. Hot chocolate was included! We went into the forest about 10 miles from our house.This tree was pretty tall, we used the top, 10 feet of it!
Christmas Program
The boys had their christmas program tonight. Here are some video clips.
My dad lost his bet, Isaac actually stayed up on stage the whole time! Isaac is in the front row on the right hand side, and Carson (the big boy) is in the back on the left hand side.
A surprise at the end, was SANTA! Both boys hopped right up on his lap (first time for Carson) Carson told him all kinds of things he would like this year, Isaac just stared at him and smiled!

Ronna's First Elk!
Dave and I went elk hunting together last weekend. I harvested my first elk! Here is a picture of me with my elk.
I harvested her at 3pm and we were 2.5 miles from the truck. We did not have time to get the elk out before dark. Since we are in bear country, we had to be very aware of our surroundings. We quartered the elk (they are huge and cannot be drug out) and hung 3 quarters in a tree to retrieve the next day. Luckily, nothing got the meat and it made it out safely.
Here is a picture of Dave with a quarter plus the loins and backstraps on his back (about 60 lbs) under the tree where we hung the other 3 quarters.

Carson's First Shooting Practice
We were out target shooting to get ready for hunting season. Dave brought his 22 rilfle for Carson to shoot (22 is a step up from a BB gun). Carson did a great job lining up his shot and hit the target 3 times! He had a blast. Isaac wanted to shoot too, but we told him he had to be 4.
