Tis the Season


Aaah, Christmas time. We decorated the house on Thanksgiving weekend. I feel like it's all going by so quickly; I'm not sure why. It was fun decorating. Four years old is pretty fun when it comes to this kind of stuff. Here she is helping sort out the fake Christmas tree. Gotta love the fake Christmas tree.


Rich took Teagan on her second hunting trip this weekend. They went a couple weeks ago, but didn't have any luck. They were hunting snowshoe hare. Teagan loved it. They shot two rabbits and she still loved it. She's an Alaska girl, through and through. She helped dress the
hare, and tomorrow morning I will put it in the crockpot for rabbit stew (i.e., hasenpfeffer). I'm adapting the recipe to the crockpot, just to make sure that rabbit is good and tender. We'll see, I've never cooked rabbit, let alone tasted it. Rich has always given the rabbits away to others who enjoy them, but now we have to teach Teagan if you shoot it, you must eat it. Too bad I don't have any pictures of the event (okay, probably not too bad if you don't like these kinds of things!). I'll have to post the stew results.

Oooh yes do post the stew results. I am impressed that Teagan liked hunting. But what I really adore is that picture of you with Aidan and the colorful Christmas lights. It is a beauty.

Yeah, I should really move the baskets of laundry when I take these pictures for the blog...oh well, c'est la vie!
