Natalie with Curls

Natalie with Curls, originally uploaded by Carl's Photography.

Natalie got a new curling iron and Becky curled her hair before church. While they were finishing curling her hair, I set up my lights for a portrait. Mom and Dad and Ben had come for New Year's Day and stayed over night. For New Year's Day lunch we cooked a turkey and a bunch of other food. Becky made pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting. I cooked the turkey, made potatoes with Becky along with realy turkey gravy. Saturday morning I got up about 5:15 and adjusted the fire. It was -16 over night and the house had got a bit cold. I made pancakes, tater rounds in the oven and a big bown of peaches with rasperries from the freezer. Mom cleaned up and did dishes. Thanks Mom for doing dishes on your birthday! We went over to Carrie and Jon's place after church and had a meal there, took a tour of the house Jon built and was just finishing on being sold and then went home.
