Wow! Is it really over?!

This picture of Beau captures the excitement of Christmas morning! He was so much fun to watch as he opened each gift.


Tucker found his present and began unwrapping it. Oh, how wonderful those pig ears are!

My cousin, Nicki, sent me a beautiful Brighton clock...I just love it. How did she know it was just what I wanted?!!!

Tiah and the kiddies! This was before all the merriment began on Christmas Day. I am so happy and thankful that Tiah shares her family with us on this special day. We just love 'em all!

Christmas Eve and new jammies!

Christmas Eve the kiddies got a very special phone call from their daddy in Afghanistan. He figured he would have a hard time trying to get through to them on Christmas Day, so he called on Christmas Eve and made it very special for three little kids. They just glowed as they spoke with their daddy. He is scheduled to come home in about a month or so. We can't wait!!!!

This was taken Christmas Eve after we drove around Pendleton looking at all the beautiful Christmas decorations people had on their homes. We found some pretty neat stuff out there.

I hope everyone had a very, very Merry Christmas! Now....on to this New Year!

Fun at Calli's Last Weekend

Calli and her snowman collection. Yup, she is quite the snowman collector!


The Gulick house with all their beautiful lights. How merry!


Briley and Taylor are READY for Christmas!

Check out the cave Grandma!

Briley and Taylor had lots of fun in their yard with all of the snow that had fallen. It is quite a change from Palm Springs, huh?

Thanks Calli and Sonny for a great time!

Chamber Christmas Party at Jean Eckles

Yesterday we had so much fun at our Chamber Office Christmas Party at Jean Eckles house. We missed April and Gail though! Here is our festive group in front of Jean's fireplace. Hey...Jean, what are you doing clear down there?


Just check out all the goodies we had to munch on! Whew, we have some really good cooks in the Chamber office. Thanks for sharing receipes girls!

Leslie loved her present from Aunt Shirley...Alicia was amazed with the beautiful ornament she received and Trish was playing "Vanna." What a group!

Yolanda, what can we say? She just loved her wine glass "foot wear". She was totally tickled with the little coasters for her wine glasses.



Jean, thanks a million for being a first rate hostess and showing us all such a good time. Your house is beautiful and we loved the tour!
