Finally posting some Christmas pictures.

Joseph helping grandpa with a Scrabble game.
Four Little Duck Fans.
I loved our tree so much this year, we got it up much earlier than we have in the past since we usually wait for Jennifer to get home but sad to say she and Michael went to TX this year. I know, I know we have to share. There were lots of great gatherings to attend and we enjoyed them all very much and tried to make the season bright even though it was just the two of us for the first time ever. Very different in deed!
We did end up having lots of visitors and that was the most wonderful part of the holiday season for us. This is Cierra and Michael, Michelle and Grant Coppedge.

Brad and Kristy, Marc and Connie, Kellen and Caleb all arrived Christmas Day.

We had Christmas morning again the day after with Kellen and Caleb, Marc and Connie, so fun! Later that day Darren and Jill, Joseph, Justin and baby Erica arrived. Yeah!It is always so amazing to me how quickly babies change, we just saw Erica a month ago but she is totally different already. We had such fun with her, she is a very good baby and a joy to have around.

The big winner! You have to understand, it is so exciting when someone beats Dad and Darren.
That was it in a nut shell, it came and went so fast but we love Christmas and the joy it brings.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I love those boys so much, it makes me so happy just to even look at them. And I can't say it enough, I just want to reach through that screen and snuggle that Erica.

Yay for my scrabble win making your post! Thanks for sharing my excitement, Carol.

I love all those tree pics too. How fun to see Cierra and her fam and Brad and Kristy too. Sad we missed them, but it was great fun to hang out with you and those Portland Jolleys!
