Thanksgiving

Okay--what would a winter holiday at the farm be without Spencer and Heidi sleeping on the couch and all the guys "chopping wood?" In this case, we actually have proof that Don picked up an axe...and, for the record, I didn't see Heidi's eyes close once today. However, in all fairness, if I were a log, I'd be far more afraid of Aud!

Below are a couple more pictures of the wood-chopping crew. I must admit, I stayed inside to "help" Cameron take a nap. I was not successful--but I got out of wood-splitting and horseback riding.

Dad and Randy supervise the wood splitting.

The crowd gathers to watch...

Meanwhile, Jackson felt refreshed enough after his nap to lead the cousins in a jam session. He seems to have also learned the skill of strategic ad placement and hoped that the WAL-MART logo in the lower right-hand side of the shot would earn him royalties.

Annie (Matt's sister) was new to the area and hadn't yet learned that certain family members should not be given too much attention or they do not leave you alone. After her torture was complete, Jorge moved on to Uncle Randy. Jackson wanted her to spend the night at the farm, but Papa was having difficulty summoning up the proper enthusiasm. :)
