EARLY CHRISTMAS AT OUR HOUSE

Eric and Becky bought a green shirt for George and he was so surprised, because the one he had, he just ripped at the pocket and even took my sewing machine to a repair shop so I could fix it. Not now George, you have a replacement.
Bill is also opening a gift from Eric and Becky. It is something a doctor uses for bad backs. Eric would have to explain it but Bill was pleased with it. They have doctors in the truck stops who use them to help the drivers. Bill is always putting his back out.
Becky is just starting to open. I think this one is a pair of jeans, can't remember.
this box is full of food items for Eric to take with him on his truck. I wrapped every item so he had to do a lot of unwrapping. He loved all of it though.
This is Sadie. She is really getting big, but she is a very good puppy. Very gentle.
Eric and Becky's dog not mine.

AN EARLY GIFT FOR ZOE

Aunt Kristy played Santa for me in Arizona. I asked her to get cowgirl boots for Zoe for Christmas. Zoe is spending the week with her. I said if they did anything she would need the boots to give them to her early.
I think she likes them. They look a lot like Haali's
I think I got the pictures out of order. Oh well
Mitchell helped her try them on, and I missed that picture. I can't win here. Any way, she looks great and I think Aunt Kristy did a very good job. Thank you.

HAPPY SINTERKLAUS DAY

My farm on Farmville has taken on the look of Christmas. I have many Dutch neighbors on my farm. Happy Sint Day to all of you.
December 5th is the day Sinterklaus gives gifts to the "children" (Okay Heidi, I know you are only 6). His helper is Piet and there are many of them running around Holland right now. Sint comes from Spain in a boat then gets on his white house to ride through Holland. Hope you were all good this year.
We were out shopping and along came a Piet band. Heidi got two Piets to stop to take a picture with me. They have little cookies in the bags and hand them out to the children wherever they go. They all look like they are having fun.
