finally broke out my few christmas decorations in preperation for mara and ian, oh and tom and faith and sarah and joel came over too last weekend but i didn't take very many pictures and the few i did take weren't very good. we did have a really nice time with them though


palmer's into toy story 3. . .

he's a master now
ian and mara got in on wed night LATE. their flight was delayed.
weather is pretty nice out. the boys have been able to run around outside. i don't think we'll have a white christmas here.

palmer, danger boy. . .


over at dan and sue's for a tamale party

funny guy

we've been busy still since getting back. . . finally got a little tree up yesterday.
i can't believe christmas is almost here!

thanksgiving in white salmon

it was very good to be around family, had some bumps in the road but always good to have learning lessons right? makes you stronger. do love the northwest and my family. the boys fought quite a bit but i know they'll be buddies in a few years!

nice face on ian huh? he didn't want to put a coat on and it was chilly

sweet hug. . .

snow

what ya do when you have 2 toddlers and it's snowing outside. . . .



i tried and tried to get a good picture of these 2.
