pre-holiday holidays

whoa i am a bit behind. the holidays were a whirlwind!  celebrating with my family early, then traveling to denver for the holidays, then lucy's birthday. mix in a two jobs for me and one for todd and life was very busy! so now that i've had a chance to breathe i am ready to update the blog. sorry for the delay and there is alot so i will update in stages.

today's post is the pre-holiday holiday celebration with zoo lights and my family here in portland, followed by our own tree here in hood river.

zoo lights was pouring down rain this year....we didn't last too long, but gotta keep traditions!

....then a little gift exchange with my brother and his kids at my mom's house.

a few days before we left for denver we celebrated together at home.  the kids both wanted bean bags for their respective reading corners.  i got 'the clapper'!

we also celebrated with my dad but i didn't have my camera. if i get any pictures i'll post those later.

next post denver holidays!.....
