Our Holiday

Our holiday with Oma and Opa (Chad's folks) was nice and relaxing. This year things were pretty quiet since it wasn't the whole crew... Adam, Carey, and the kids stayed in Beaverton and we will miss the fact that we won't see them for the holidays this year. We will be in Eugene for Christmas and they will be in the Hood. Luckily, we live near by and we can try to catch up at the end of the football season.
We spent lots of time in front of the "big" cozy fire while the girls played I don't know how many games of Twister. *Excuse the mid-drift.
Tod did some fishing and caught two steel head. He sent us home with plenty and I can't wait to cook it. This picture was taken in Oma and Opa's back yard on the Hood River. *Chad's oldest brother Tod.Maisey watched Tod clean the fish and she decided she never wants to catch one. Nice getup huh? For both of them!
Ryley was happy he got to spend plenty of time with family. He especially likes cousin Ruby. She is an idol in our family amongst the kiddos.

Friday we walked around the local shops with Tod and Jill before our drive home.
Fortunately, we weren't caught in a snow storm and we made it back in time for a busy weekend of homework. Which was successful.

But, before all the work came on Saturday we managed to decorate our Christmas tree Friday night. I didn't want to waste any time and I wasn't in the mood to cut the holiday short by jumping head over heels into neuroscience.
Isn't it pretty?

Ryley has the cutest smile, it almost looks like he has teeth in the picture. What a cutie!
