ethan and laina, Christmas morning

We had a wonderful, simple, (and even) white, Christmas.

Christmas Vacation in Gleneden, Oregon

We spent a lovely holiday at the beach with our wonderful friends, the Carver family.

We cooked and ate....a lot.


There was plenty of music, and impromptu concerts.

And there was games galore, with Monopoly being the game of the week.

And...there were crafts....and crafts....

And more crafts....

And homemade hot chocolate...

And...more crafts....

And a nativity treasure hunt...

The beach was beautiful and the weather was glorious. No wind and hardly any rain every day!


It was marvelous...

And we enjoyed it to the fullest.

Holly and Kiersten.

Sneaker waves!

Lindsey and Kathryn.

The reason for the season?

Bobcat Hunt

There's been some Bobcats periodically spotted around our area, so we decided to go on a hunt...

Okay, so it was actually more of an excuse to go on a walk and take pictures...
