Charlie

Don't get me wrong, I love both my boys.
But I sure have a particular fondness for this sweet face.
Charlie makes finals week not seem so stressful.

Tradition

Our holiday season officially began last week by going to see
"A Christmas Story" at Pioneer Theatre. It just doesn't feel like December until I have heard words like Bumpus Hounds and You'll Shoot Your Eye Out.

(and yes, we wore those shirts to the show - thanks Brady and Becky!)

Cactus

My Christmas Cactus decided to bloom for Thanksgiving.
I told it I was cool with that.

Nate's 28th Birthday

We celebrated Nate's birthday this weekend with lots of pumpkin pie and a surprise getaway to a cute little bed and breakfast in Lava Hot Springs.

...

When we arrived at the b&b we were pleasantly surprised that it was on 10 acres of lovely countryside and that there were all sorts of animals to greet us!

3 horses
2 miniature horses (one was pregnant!)
2 dogs
2 cats
15 kittens
1 large cockatoo
dozens of chickens
several roosters
a HUGE white turkey





We had a fun night playing arcade games, shopping at the trading post, eating disgusting Thai food (I think the locals who recommended it need to get out more!), playing serious bingo at the White Wolf Restaurant (I won $16!!), and soaking in the amazing hot springs.
