ANd I found a bunch more from our adventures at home. First I will start with a tribute to our pets: Emma, Chowder and Buster (because we really miss them).
Emma oscillates between being very calm to being very cracked out on cat nip:
She is an excellent present guard:
Chowder is always a nervous wreck, but he was happy to see us, despite the terror in his eyes:
Buster is looking better than we have ever seen him, which is why he is STAYING on the farm:
Howard, Holly and Clara came to visit. Clara has a strong throwing arm as demonstrated by her excellent toss of a wooden egg, which hit Emma right on her nose. Smittten, Emma hung around.
we finally had Carpenter Christmas on December 29th when Kate and Andy arrived!
A very cool and awesome antique sign which hailed from London was given to Andy (must have been his coolest present):
Jim got many an argyle sweater:
Much to our joy Dad made us watch A Christmas Carol from 1830. It was cold and it was hunting season so we huddled up:
And then, after making us watch A Christmas Carol, Dad FELL ASLEEP!!! (and so did Chowder. It WAS a riveting movie.):
But fortunately, we were able to awaken him and we proceeded to get him (and Jim..not Chowder) all liquored up, so that watching A Christmas Carol from 1830 would be funny:
Of course, no family Christmas is complete without diseccting some regurgitated owl food! Scientist Kate led us as we retrieved owl regurgitation and then proceeded to take it apart and remove the bones of small critters (everyone does this in sixth grade science class!)
Yummy!
Kate can be pretty bossy when it comes to owl regurgitation:
And the results of our efforts! After which we decided that since we kind of inhaled owl ball dust that hadn't been properly sterilized, we were all probably going to die of some rare bacterial infection. It was fun anyway:
Yeehaw! I love the farm!
