Holidays

Never fear, we are still alive!   We had a wonderful holiday season.  We were able to go to Oregon and visit family.  Of course we weren't able to visit many other people like we would have liked, but that seems to be the way it always is over the holidays.  There is just so much going on...

Here is just a dump of pictures to enjoy. 

We were almost afraid we would have to deal with snowstorms on our drive.  We got dumped on right before we left.  This was just the beginning...

Once we got to Oregon, we stayed with the Garners, and did tons of fun things.  They all decorated gingerbread houses.  Thanks to Cameron and Ashely for putting that together!  Isaac loved it!

Christmas morning Isaac was in Heaven with all that was going on. 

 As was Emily.  She was going all over the place getting in to everything!  She is Miss Curiosity!

Cameron's awesome new blanket...

Later in the day we went over to the Brown household with everyone and opened some presents there.  Again, it was wonderful and fun filled.

 The Wayne Brown clan, or most of them. 

 King Grandpa

And of course following tradition we went bowling with the Garners.  Isaac loved getting to bowl, and getting passed around from Aunt to Uncle to Aunt to Uncle, etc.  (As did Emily, even more so.)

We also went to Salem's Riverfront park where they have a Carousel.  Isaac and Emily both got to ride it a few times.  Mom stayed on solid ground where she wouldn't get sick!  Thanks again to Cameron and Ashley for going with the kids!

 And she's off!

Thank you to all of our family who were willing to let us come and crash, and for helping us have such a great Christmas!
