Ryan's Handmade Gifts

I have the greatest husband ever! There are two pieces of furniture that I've been wanting for years... and new coffee table and a china cabinet to display my "pretties." For my birthday Ryan made me a steel top coffee table. It is beautiful! And then for Christmas he made me a china cabinet buffet. All of the wood is refurbished from an old barn and the cabinet doors are antique windows. I love them!

New Year's Day

On New Year's Day, we had our families up to the ranch to celebrate and play games. It was a great day... We watched the Rose Parade, ate Cindy's famous Chex Mix, and Samuel rolled over for the first time! We also took a walk around the ranch and Ollie (and Josh) fed carrots our neighborhood horses.

Wild Turkey at the Ranch

Believe it or not, on Christmas day we spotted a flock of 12-13 wild turkey at the ranch. We couldn't get close enough to get any close-up photos... but this will give you the basic idea. Soon after we saw them, they retreated back up the mountain.
