Our Lovely Christmas

We had the most beautiful Christmas at home this year. Ma and Pa Taylor from Bend and Ma and Pa Darney and Murph from Portland came for the weekend and it was filled with lots of family traditions and so much fun. Friday night was Tex Mex and "The Christmas Story", Saturday (Christmas Eve) was football, relaxing, church, Chinese and "A Muppet's Christmas Carol" and Sunday was kicked off with Cinnabons and presents, tons of food and drinks :) (maybe a few too many of those), a large prime rib feast and "Home Alone". Jake, Mego and Coop were also able to join us on Christmas Day which we were pumped about and so happy to have them. We are so incredibly thankful to have the most awesome parents and friends in the world and feel so blessed that they were able to spend this Christmas with us. Happy New Year everyone!

Need to clarify this photo: this is NOT our yard inflatable.
This was taken in front of a neighbors house on one of
our many walks. No offense if you have a yard inflatable but,
well, they ARE pretty stupid. Sorry.

Oh the weather outside...

IS BEAUTIFUL! Although, I sure wish there was even just a hint of that cold, white substance I look forward to all year long. Sad. Winter (although my husband thinks I'm a total nut for it) is my absolute fav season. Nothing beats sweatshirts, layering, SNOW, the holidays and my personal favorite, winter beer ales! I'm a very happy girl this time of year. To kick off the holiday season we drove up north a little ways to find us some snow and our Christmas tree. That's right, we put on our snow gear and cut down our tree in style! We took our camp trailer up, watched football and ate chili with our besties, the Blanchard family. Here are some photos of the season so far...
