We headed “home” to Oregon for Christmas, spending time in Coos Bay with my mom, and then up to Creswell to be with Mark’s family. There was LOTS of fun along the way – and the way back!
San Francisco - Lombard Street
Cassie drove across the Golden Gate Bridge, but I think that photo is on someone else’s camera. I gotta get those!
Elk Viewing Area – Oregon
Seeing the elk in-between Coos Bay and Creswell is always a delight. They only very rarely disappoint (by hiding somewhere else, I guess.) We were so happy they were out grazing for Vicky to see!
Christmas Eve
Our whole family read the Christmas story from our Advent Calendar and then I read “How The Grinch Stole Christmas” to everyone, but especially Vicky, since she’d never heard it before.
Christmas Morning
Thirteen of us were together on Christmas morning!! Nana, Papa Ken, Grandma Lissa, Uncle Matt, Aunt Sandie, Kayla, Nicholas, and the six of us. It was WONDERFUL!! Nana made her famous and yummy homemade cinnamon rolls.
This last photo was taken at The Rocket Inn in Creswell. We’d gotten up early and were heading out of town.
Before that though ….. there was the
University of Oregon DUCKS football team practice!!! They ended the season completely UNdefeated and play for the National Championship came tomorrow, January 10th. We’ll be rooting like CRAZY!!
MacArthur Court – Ducks Basketball
Well, the basketball team is a whole different LOSING story, but Mark wanted to see a game for old time’s sake. Vicky and I decided to tag along!
Our trip to Oregon was GREAT!! Vicky’s parents had sent a package from Germany for her to open on Christmas Eve, but it got stuck in customs for over a month. Gratefully, we were all SO HAPPY, the package arrived at Nana’s house the Monday after Christmas. It was VERY SPECIAL to Vicky – she opened it in private to savor all its “from home” goodness. Zsolt & Silka were very generous to us all … I especially liked my leather bracelet!
