It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
Christmas morning is always filled with
excitement. Mark and I woke before the kids around 7:30 , which rarely happens.
The kids excitedly peeked under the tree to see what Santa had left for them.
Jake had his Bruder tow truck and jeep he was hoping for. Luke got his Bruder
backhoe and fork lift he wanted. Jayden found her bridle and spur straps for
her horse. I whipped up some blueberry muffins while the stockings were opened.
Then each of the kids had 3 gifts to open. Daddy and I did pretty good not
overdoing on gifts this year for the kids, however I think we both splurged on
each other. Mark got me an open hearts
diamond necklace that is so pretty. That was a big unexpected surprise. The
kids and him also got me an ipad, something I thought would be nice to have in
this day and age. If nothing else, I need it to keep me organized.
