I have 16 grandchildren and another one is on the way. Unfortunately, only 4 of them live close by, but at least I get to do things with them. Yesterday, Kim took the older two to get a tree. It took them all afternoon but we got a nice tree. They helped clean up and get ready to put the tree up. Emerson, who is 5, dragged that tree into the house because we weren't moving fast enough. The tree is proudly sitting in the stand. Emerson also made sure the chickens were fed and gathered eggs.
Today they came back over and helped frost the Christmas cookies. Emerson once again went out and took care of the chickens and even helped with the other animals. He really wanted to decorate the tree but we were busy grinding meat and making sausage, and decorating the cookies. So I promised him that they could came back tomorrow evening and decorate the tree.
Tatianna packed up her share of the cookies and grabbed some venison out of the freezers before she and Zach left. They will be back for New Years. She left us her dehydrator so we could finish the jerky. We will be processing another deer this coming weekend so having it for a couple of weeks will come in handy.
We got a lot accomplished and having the kids and grandkids here just made it better. I can say it was a really pleasant weekend for all of us. Too bad it has ended so quickly. Back to work tomorrow for every one in the household. Kim is leaving for 4 days but will be back for the holiday weekend. I still need to finish Christmas shopping. I mean Christmas errands of love.
