1) Monty was a good sport. The girls think he is one of their toys, and for the most part he puts up with their agenda for him.
Today he was their baby. I bet he'll be so happy when the real baby comes to keep them distracted.
Look how submissively he just lays in there. Such a good little sport.
2) Taber picked up some new skills at work. Not really HR related but this week he got some practice frying and carving turkeys. He and his plant leadership team fried up turkeys for every shift, I think they did over 25 turkeys in all.
This is what they cooked them in:
And these are the birds. They do this for the employees every quarter. Last time they boiled lobsters. Sometimes I wish they'd come to my house and make me dinner too!

3) We had to have emergency "tree surgery"to save our tree. A few days ago our tree stopped drinking water. Since we've never had a real tree we had no idea what was going on. Turns out the sap had gone to the bottom and clogged it up. Luckily we had the missionaries over and they kindly helped us move the tree, stabilize it, then saw off the bottom to give it a fresh chance to absorb water. Hopefully now it will last through Christmas!
4) And lastly, my good friend Darby came over the other day and noticed this random spot in our family room that I have no idea what to do with. She told me she had a big nativity display that would be perfect for it and asked if I wanted to use it.
She brought it over the other day and tonight we set it up.
I LOVE it!
Seriously it is the cutest thing ever, and I'm happy to finally have a useful purpose for that spot!
Thanks for the loan Darby, and that is the end of my random ramblings for this week. : )

Ok, love love love the nativity! Perfect for the random island in your house. Oh and you should be proud, I commented on your actual blog:) Joseph is helping me
I think you have the greatest friends Becca;0) Reflects back on you, of course! Love cute little cooperative Monty. Our Cocoa hasn't had the pleasure of being dressed up quite yet...but I know it's coming soon. haha
How nice if your friend, that looks awesome there! Good idea, that could be your permanent "holiday display" spot.
And I didn't know trees got clogged with sap on the bottom. Good to know! That's cool you had the missionaries over, that was a way of life for everyone growing up in VA but here in Utah I think we've only fed the missionaries a few times, it's weird. Cool your kids get to experience that!
I think the same thing happened to our tree! It's losing needles like crazy. Sad. Now we'll have to have the elders over to help us fix it! :)
Monty is such a sweet dog. Now if only I can get my daughter to stop shaking with fear every time she sees him...
Fried turkey! I love it. Your friend was so nice to lend you that nativity. I love how sweet Monty is. What a good dog. Can't wait for baby. Can you tell I'm typing on the iPod. Love ya
