Over the Hill and Through The Woods...

Today we are off to Great Grandma's house in Chico. It should be a really fun time! Mostly because Jr will get to meet his Great Grandma for the first time!! And a the rest of his Great-Aunts and alot of cousins too!

This involves a 2 hour car ride, getting Grandma J's house organized for Christmas tomorrow and getting all of the things that we are responsible for (food wise) for dinner tonight as well as presants and 5 people into the car and on the road. Usually we aim for getting out of here by noon and to Great Grandma's by 2ish but somehow today I'm not so sure that's going to happen ;). The past couple of days, our nephew Justin has been out at the Ranch helping Chris and Grandpa with various assorted things and just spending "guy" time with his uncle. Unfortunately we don't have a car that will seat 6 while accomadating the car seat. Chris is currently on his way to drop Justin off at his parents house plus make a little stop along the way and get back here and showered quickly so we can load the car while he's doing all of that. My guess is we will end up leaving here about 1. But we will have to wait and see.

Meanwhile, I am in what is known around here as "the cave" (aka my mother in law's office) dutifully watching as the yearly calanders print so that I can reset them and make sure that the other side of the pages print. Then I am off to the shower to try and make it as easy on myself and everyone else so that when my inlaws get back up from the barn (they are feeding those darn cows) we can get everything ready to go and they can get showered.

Jr seems to be loving his time on the ranch. He LOVES the horses. I have a picture of him on my cellphone that I still need to download and post of him and his daddy's horse. We are saving the actual riding of the horses for Aunt Kathy who has already asserted her "dibbs" on that. (She has also claimed getting him dirty from jumping in any and all puddles she can find.) Ahhh life on The Ranch ;)
