Eleni on our "pond" in the back yard.Some snow on the ground this morning, wondering when the measurable stuff will arrive?
Got out on the ice fishing last week over the Thanksgiving Holiday. A 24" and 15" walleye were iced with the 24" being release and the 15" to the grease. Eleni made it out with me and it was fun entertaining her as she entertained me with all her silly comments. We got our Christmas Tree up and after a few attempts and getting it stand up straight, I think we finally got it. Eleni was the queen of decorating, she did a good job, but maybe the reason it kept leaning to the one direction is that most of the ornaments ended up in the same spot. Last night she came up to Nicole and I with a Christmas decoration out of the box and said, "Where should we put this bad boy?" I started laughing, she's a nut. Marlo is little miss pissy pants these days. Likes attention and is a busy body. She's getting close to crawling, but has not quite got past the face plants yet. Need to get a video posted of her.
Swinging in the the heart of the Holiday Season. Hope all are doing well, Happy Holidays!
We finally got some snow and it made for a memorable McFarren family Christmas in Park Rapids. We all gathered at Vacationaire Lodge in Park Rapids for a weekend of Family celebration. It was great seeing all my relatives and having all the kids get together for some festive fun. The Snow came Saturday night and the winds followed causing road closures and no travel advised. We got to stay an extra night and enjoy each others company and many more beers along with it. 
With the snow piled up Monday morning it was time to head for home. Not being able to get into our driveway, my brother Mike made a swing by on plow duty and cleaned us out. Thanks Mikey! Record lows follow with -25 below this morning. With our new ICF constructed home and radiant floor heat we are snug and toasty and loving it!
