Opening day of deer hunting wasn't very exciting. Luke didn't see anything and by the end of the day we only had two deer (normally in the 4-5 range). My Dad got a nice size 5 pointer early in the morning and my Uncle Larry got 4 pointer later in the day. But after a 10 day deer hunt and 10 guys hunting we ended up with 8 deer. Which is pretty good, considering the week of bad hunting.
This is a picture of three deer eating in the field next to Mom and Dad's house Saturday Afternoon
Us girls were trying to get them to run to the woods but no lucky.
Dad's Birthday was Monday of deer hunting and we usually all are together for it. Everyone in the family come together for supper, drinks and great conversations. Dad got some great presents this year starting with mom and Kati getting him a leather vest for riding the motorcycle and Luke and I got him outdoors speakers for the deck, which will be great for the brewer games on the deck in the summer time.
Every year I make my dad a dessert that he would like...well this year I made him two different cookies.
Lemon Crisp Cookies
Chocolate Snowflake Cookies
Both cookies were a hit and was told that I can make them again, anytime.
Thanksgiving was great, we don't have the traditional Thanksgiving meal so our Thanksgiving was Country style spare ribs in the crock pot with sweet baby rays BBQ and sauerkraut. mmmmmmmm It tasted so good.
And after we ate, watched the Packer game and tried to take a nap Mom and I went into the night to get the great deals on Black Friday. We were in Walmart at 9pm at night, stood in line to get what we wanted and on to the next place, and the next place, and to the next place. We got home about 8am, tired and ready for sleep. After a good nap, we got up and had lunch with guys after they got done cutting up the deer.
I hope to start posting about December a little bit early then after it's gone but no promises.
