Mom's Terrible Shooting Percentage

My dad used to always call for "one shot, one shot" when we were shooting in the shed as he headed out for chores.  If my memory serves me right, he probably shot about 95%.  After hitting nothin' but net he'd say, in his best attempt at being cocky, "Old man's still got the touch!"  I clearly cannot say the same...and Jack finds that hilarious.

Lainey and Jack's "Merry Christmas Party"

Jack and his friend Lainey hosted a little Christmas party today at our house.  (That will either make you laugh, like it does me...or roll your eyes...one of the two.)  Lainey's an old pro after hosting a Halloween party of her own, so Jack and I recruited Lainey and her mom, Theresa, to join us.  (We did  steal their idea after all.  Plus, Theresa makes super cute treats!)  We had a full house  for snacks, chatting, and playing.

I failed to take more than a couple pictures, so you'll have to imagine cute kids and cute reindeer treats, etc. cause this is all there is.  I didn't even get a picture of the host and hostess together! :P

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year...
