Home for Christmas !


We left the RV at Camp Pendleton and flew home for two weeks to spend Christmas with our family and friends.  It has been three years since we were home to celebrate Christmas. We were very excited to be going....except of course for having to deal with cold and rain of Portland, Oregon

Even though Barbara and Otto, Andy's parents, no longer live at the "big house" they allowed us to crash in their now vacated home.

Our living arrangements before we made it feel like home. Am I 18 again or what !



Now it feels like home !!

Andy was ecstatic with this gift that her Aunt Margie made!

I spent the week before Christmas watching Andy be a crazed, stressed out and a hot mess. She assures me she enjoys it...I'm not getting it!


Christmas morning at Desiree,Noah and Brent's place. Greyson and Adam were there and Desiree's parents arrived a little bit later Christmas morning.  Thanks for the breakfast guys and of course sharing your Christmas morning.

What a little bundle of Monster !  Love that little girl.


We hosted a party the Saturday after Christmas.  Mom, Dad, Andy's siblings and all of our kids. We had all our grand kids there too.  A whopping 21 of us.  What a fun time with our family.
