Well, all is fine in Iraq on this Christmas day, thank the Lord! The boys are all bored out of their minds, so they are wrestling each other

They had a nice prime rib dinner too!

Pretty eggs Randy!!

Two more pips going on, and possibly the very start of a third!!

Congrats on your splash baby. Haha @ the name Blue Butt!!

Pretty eggs Berkley.

Debbi glad to hear everything is calm there in Iraq. Just about every one of my cousins either went into the Army, Navy, or Marines. My step dad and my dh's step dad both are Viet Nam vets and my grandfather was in WW2. I am suprised I never went in lol. Kinda wished I had though.

OH AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! everbody

Thanks! I spoke too soon when I said Blue Butt was so quiet! SHE found her voice once in the brooder! A LOT!! She still sounds so different than all of my other chicks, and the Splash, sounds just like her. Blue Butt has feathered shanks

, can't tell yet on the splash, she's covering up her legs.

My Grandfather served in WW1, my Dad in Korea, and now my Son has been to Korea and Iraq. My SIL just got back from Iraq for his first Christmas with the girls! He sounded so happy this morning. This was his fifth tour over there, and he's got another one coming up again.
