Family Christmas – Happy New Year



Christmas morning
and our tree.














Santa left everyone toe socks in their stockings.Oma and Cole are shown here.




Our eyes are puffy but we
are awake.

New robes, warm and fuzzy.









Jo trying out her new Hannah Montana light up drawing table. She draws just about every day now so this gift was a hit.


Cole practicing on his Rip Stick-G that Santa left him.

Two wheels seems tough but he does well along with the other boys on the block. Rip Sticks were a hot item from Santa this year.



We made our trip to Gma Marie and Gpa Norman’s for the afternoon meal and gift exchange. Once again I forgot to snap a photo or two. GREAT dinner and always a nice visit with family.

We then met up with the Ruiz Clan (Jill’s sister and family) at the Woodburn Outlet Mall for some lunch and exchanging gifts. Who knew there would be sales of 50% - 70% with another 40% off of the lowest prices? DANG IT! We didn’t spend too much but couldn’t resist the sales. Oh yeah, the gift exchange and hanging out with the family was great too.The gift from Gpa Dave and all the family and friends who drank Coke and sent him points was a telescope that we had to put together that evening and brave the 24 degree temperature to take a peak at the moon and a star or two! We will enjoy this gift for years to come as well as all the others.

Happy New Year!
Our New year’s eve was spent with Rachelle and Connie.
The kids were going to stay up to cheer the New Year
but Jo just couldn’t make it.She did try though.
Cole and Oma made it!No surprise for Cole, he is quite the night owl and made it longer than Oma too.

Our New Years Toast and Smoke!Renee, Mom, Rachelle, Connie, Janis and Andy.
(Don’t show our kids this shot, they will ask why I want to die early)

Jo woke early and happy! More happy to take Dasher for her walk with Connie. The country sure
fits this girl,
she is outside more here than any other place we go.







Hope your Christmas was Wonderful and your New Year will be even better than the last.
Love The BS Family
