Christmas Eve on the farm

Well, it is 8:45 and the kids are already in bed trying to go to sleep in time for santa to come!!  I dearly remember those days as a child and how much fun that was.  We also had a fun and busy day getting some firewood cut for our friend Willie, Steven, Grandma and Grandpa, and us.  I finally found a good trailer for the four wheeler today and brought it home.  The kids filled it completely up while me and the boys cut wood.

Alex didn't want to pose but Lisa jumped at the chance!

This was after they had it mostly full and Alex was ready for a picture to be taken!

 Then, after a lot of hard work in the field it was time to finish Christmas cookies for them selves and Santa.  Unfortunately Alex ate most of the ones he made!

Before I came in for the night I gave all the animals a little treat...the pigs got extra feed tonight, the cows got a special bale of hay and Mario got some of the pigs feed for a special treat and some scratching!   Lady A is almost ready to pop, she will be having babies any day now!

I will write another post tomorrow after everything calms down, for now, a little couch time with the wife to watch a movie before Santa gets here and then off to bed!!!


Goodnight all and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!!!

The Merrick Family!
