Happy Birthday Kim!
Kim usually spends her birthday at the cabin but this year Brian got tickets for them to go see Brian Regan, so they won't be coming up until tomorrow and we will celebrate then.
We love you Kim!

James fixed a nice breakfast for Darrel this morning but Darrel tricked us and left early. Luckily there were people here to eat the food. Goodbye Darrel, see you next year.
After breakfast James went on a hike near elk hill and saw 80 head of elk. It was a good way to start his day. When he got home he went out to chop some firewood. Evan put on his coonskin cap and went with him. James chopped and Evan loaded the chopped wood into the back of the Razor. Evan never stopped and he said to grandpa: "I feel sorry for my brothers just laying around in the house watching TV while I'm out here having all this fun." Not only did he have fun, but also earned $5.

Sheri and I made a trip to town to Circle K and Walmart. It was cold and windy. It is raining in Chandler and there is snow in north Scottsdale and on the desert.
It snowed this afternoon. We stayed inside and watched movies and played games. Sheri and I watched "Signed, Sealed and Delivered" and "Christmas on the Bayou." Ian, Alex, Ben, and Max sat in front of the fire and played "Magic".
This could be a game of Yahtzee.
That's Evan's hat on the table, not a dead animal.
James, Sheri and I watched the movie Kim gave me for Christmas, "The 100 Foot Journey". We loved it. After the movie Sheri and I went into the kitchen and heated up all the appetizers we could for our New Year's Eve celebration. James and I were supposed to go to the DeWitt's for a party but I still have a cough and didn't want to go out in the cold.
After "dinner" James watched the move 'Lincoln' and then we went to bed. Ian stayed up and did his own fireworks show.
