I haven't had a chance to post about our family dinner a couple weeks ago. I have this fantastic picture of my dad that I just couldn't keep from all of you!
We went to my parents home for dinner the Sunday after Thanksgiving to celebrate my sister's birthday. Long story short... one person in the family was gone almost every weekend from Sept 30th (my sister's bday) until after Thanksgiving! My dad went on 3 hunting trips from North Dakota to Argentina and back to South Dakota during that time. (Hunting pheasant and doves for those interested!) He had a great time and has many wonderful stories!
My parents live on an acre with 2 horses, 4 dogs, and a cat. They are surrounded by 4-5 other non-developed acres. The fence surrounding their property is only a small 3 foot farm type fence and the dogs are more than able to jump over or run under it.
On to explain the picture... before we all headed home my dad was getting ready to feed the animals. This is apparently his apparel every morning and evening, however in the picture he is missing the tall rubber boots! (for those unaware of such technology - he has a headlamp, locator collars for his 4 dogs, and around his neck the remotes to find the dogs should they wander off searching for birds) Isn't he cute?!
We had a wonderful dinner and were able to get to know Jamie's boyfriend Ryan better. Here is a picture of them as well. I can't believe these are the only 2 pictures from that day! We sure missed Carly and Travis at this dinner... next time!
I hope you are all enjoying the Holidays! We sure are and finally finished decorating our tree! I took pictures yesterday and hope to have them up by tomorrow.

I am assuming that the shooting of the doves was purely in self defense. Am also assuming that these doves were not sitting near a partridge in a pear tree.
Well, besides the hunting part, yes, your dad is adorable. :)
