HAPPY BIRTHDAY OMA!
We ate dinner with Dale & Francis to also celebrate Francis's Birthday as they are close together. Francis made cake and for the kids and we put candles in it and sang.
Tree TimeA lot tree this year as time was passing buy with little time to head to the farms. Cole said he knew of a tree lot and directed the driving to said lot.
The kids had fun getting the tree ready for the indoors.
And of course all decorated within an hour!
Decorations are still a little clustered here and there but this year it was purposeful clustering by the kids. For example each of us has a Bear holding our initial ornament. Those four ornaments are hanging in a row on the tree, clustered if you will. Our tree looks GREAT!
Christmas Parade!
We headed over to Dale & Francis's again for lunch and visiting with their whole family followed by the Christmas parade in the rain.
The kids and I were thankful that it wasn't bitter cold with the rain, it was just Oregon rain. AND A LOT OF IT!
Oma and Francis
Thought I should include a photo of these two watching the parade too.
Cookie Competition with the Lampitts!
Jo and Oma making the sugar cookies. First time for both making this type of batter.
And we are decorating!
If you read last years posts we decorated Trees, this year it was a ginger bread shape.
(2009, Xmas keeps on coming! if you wanted to check out last years contest)
THEY ARE AWESOME!

Cole and Jo want to say:
