After days of decorating and cooking---well, of course, you understand, MamaCoyote gets all of that credit. Papa tries to lend a paw when appropriate, but, well, I just am not much of a decorator. We had twenty-eight family members coming for dinner and dad gum it all, MamaCoyote was in full enteraining mode. Having eleven kids eleven and under made the day all the more exciting. We even had three nursing mothers in the house all nursing babies several times a day. I could never see what all the fuss is about with mothers nursing in public because there just is nothing to see unless one would rush in and jerk up a blouse or sweater. If one were to do that, then he/she should be arrested. As I type this I am hacking and coughing. I started coming down with a miserable cold the day we left for McCall for some rest and relaxation. Well, that is about all I did. Rest, and well, can't say much for the relaxation part. First time in all the years that we have gone to McCall that I did not XC ski, but did get a couple books read and many FB games watched. Yearn for the old days when there were only four bowl games and they were all played on New Year's Day. What was for dinner? Lots!! Everybody brings some part of the dinner so you know how that goes. Lots of tasty stuff. MamaCoyote cooked a huge prime rib to perfection and included roasted chicken and ham. We had squash pie which we call pumpkin pie. Psst: Don't tell John. No one had a chance of going home hungry.
Until next time,
PapaCoyote loves you all

Family gatherings and the Christmas season is what it's all about. Ours is not very large but we added a new member to it over the holidays.
Congrats to you, Troutbirder. Little ones are so much fun, especially when you can get them close enough to hug and play.
It was so fun to have all the kids. The magic of Christmas is increased 20 fold when you get to watch it through those shiny little eyes!
