The most Wonderful Time of the Year!

This year we couldn't go to our normal tree farm because the drought wiped out this year's selection of trees.  We trekked all the way up and over to Boone County and visited the cutest Christmas Tree farm!

BRACES!

Last week, Conner got his braces!   The orthodontist says he should only have them on for 18 months!  It is amazing how different they are than my own braces!  We are keeping our fingers crossed that 18 months passes by quickly!  I can't even believe how old Conner looks!

Conner's First Buck!

 November 17, 2018 was an amazing day at the McClellan house!  Jason takes turns taking the boys out hunting because it is too difficult for him to watch both of them at the same time.  So, on opening Saturday of shotgun season, it was Drew's turn to go on the morning hunt.  We got a call about 9:30 that Drew had a big buck down!  When I told Conner, he was excited but also sad because he had not yet shot a buck.  He said, "Mom, do you think I will ever get a buck?   The only bucks I have seen are ones that other people shot or live ones behind cages."   My whole family started praying to the patron saint of deer hunting - Saint Herbert!  We took Drew's deer in and then Jason and Conner left for the evening hunt about 2:30.  At 3:10 we got a call that Conner had a big buck down!!!  I couldn't believe it!  We were all so excited!  What was even better was that the family at Baker's camp was even more excited than we were!  Conner got his first buck after being in the stand for just 10 minutes - AMAZING!  We are so proud of both of them and so VERY thankful!
