Christmas 2010 & HAPPY 2011


We had a wonderful Christmas in Gresham, Oregon this year, hosted by Josh & Kelly. Terry and I flew over and Dusty & Kara had previously gone to Seattle for the break so they drove down for a couple days.

Skyler, Conner, Chloe and I baked sugar cookies one afternoon and the kids decorated them with lots of frosting and sprinkles.

We all gathered for breakfast on Christmas Eve morning at a local restaurant.

There was lots of playing - football outdoors and wrestling inside. With Ezra using Uncle Josh as a swing!

We all attended Christmas Eve Service as a family (Josh had his usual church responsibilities and Kelly worked in the church nursery).

We had fondu for dinner after church which consisted of cheese, bread, veggies and of course, chocolate with fruit and cake for dessert.
Terry and I have the reputation for "sleeping in" by the grandkids so each of them was responsible for waking us up each morning. Chloe was so sure that Gram was going to miss Christmas presents because of not getting up on time - so she took the Christmas morning watch to make sure that there was no delay on our part!
It was a very "electronics" Christmas for our gang this year which meant lots of explaining on how to use our new toys!

It was a great weekend and so much fun having our family together!!
