Beth’s Birthday, December 9th
I forgot to post a post on Beth’s birthday yesterday!! Shame on me! Well, yesterday Beth turned all of 14. She’s really becoming quite the young lady, too! Here’s some pics!

Pictures
There’s a few pictures here of Eric’s birthday, too.

First a picture of Beth with the deer she got this year!

Beth and the “loot shot”

Doesn’t she look pretty?

Eric and the traditional gift from Joe–pot. I mean pop!

My favorite picture of Eric

And last but certainly not least, Joe’s new pickup!

After-Dinner Entertainment
After a good dinner of awesome quesedillas (better than yours, Paul!) and guacamole, everyone was pretty much stuffed (except the ones who have self-control). Eric has this little custom, or…I’m not sure what…of doing jumping jacks when he’s stuffed. Not when he’s full; only when he’s stuffed. There’s a reason: to make everyone else sick! Well, tonight Eric sure enough started doing jumping jacks. Joe got up and to prove he could, started doing jumping jacks, too. Eric, by the way, had five or six quesedillas. Joe had three. Ben had six or seven. Dad had three or four.
“Ben, aren’t you going to prove yourself get up and do jumping jacks?” Dad asked.
“No, but I’ll prove myself another way–I’ll pick you up!” Ben said to Dad, then started taking a drink.
“No! You know what happens when you squeeze toothpaste tubes from the middle??” Dad asked. Everybody burst out laughing, and Ben about choked on his drink!
