Post riding Noodles
Ryan and James accompanied me to Big Iron Ranch today. They each got to ride Trillium, and it would have been a perfect morning except for one thing. It was sooooooo windy!
Two hours in the gale force wind resulted in three very cold Buxtons. Fortunately, we know how to get warm.
Everyone ordered their favorite Noodles dish. That's Wisconsin Mac N Cheese for James,
Buttered Noodles with extra seasonings for Ryan,

More reading
I took a picture of Ryan reading War Horse to use on my other blog. James was offended that I didn't want/need a picture of him doing the same. He let me know this rather emphatically, so I decided to humor him and take his picture. Here it is.

Waiting
After all the Christmas presents were opened, Seth strapped on some skis and left to go "ski the park." Darcy really wanted to go with him.
and waited some more.
Poor little dog. It's a good thing he came home or else she'd still be sitting there waiting for him.

Changing of the guard
About a month ago, the kids found a tumor on the last remaining Spice Girl, Basil. Female rats are prone to developing benign mammary tumors so we weren't terribly worried at first. Unfortunately, Basil's tumor was aggressive and we had to make the sad decision to let her go. Her last few days were filled with love...
The basement seemed awfully sad and quiet without Basil's little rat noises, but fortunately we were able to find three new little troublemakers to fill the silences. This is Holly,
All three came from pet stores and they are not nearly as friendly and brave as the Spice Girls. Nutmeg can be persuaded to come out for treats...
but Holly and Peppermint tend to hide in the corner every time the cage door is opened.

Nick's Garden Center
Nick's Garden Center in Aurora, Colorado may be our new favorite place to buy Christmas trees, but there's a lot more to Nick's than holiday decor.
Christmas tree shopping
We went Christmas tree shopping today. Our first stop was the McCoy's Christmas Tree lot on Havana and Mexico.
but it looks nice in our living room. Hurray!
