MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!! We hope and pray that your celebration is blessed! We are very excited to see Cassidy's reaction to it all as this is the first year that she will begin to "get it." We will miss being with the entire family this year but we're excited to have our own small celebration too! And we'll be getting together with Roy and Corey again too! (Mimosa brunch anyone????) Hopefully next year we can plan a HUGE family gathering here! You are ALL invited so Bobus better hurry and "git" up here and git to work!!!!!


This night we were having a little early Italian Christmas dinner so that Lois and Bates could celebrate with Roy and Corey before heading to Lou, Karen, Jenna and Camryn's for Christmas in LA. Cassidy got all decked out in this incredible, hand-made dress that she got from our dear Canadian friends Drew and Wanda. Wanda can really sew and this was also made with much love!!! We can't wait to hook up with them some time soon now that we are MUCH closer!


This is a small part of the Elk herd that makes lights blink and traffic stop on Hwy. 101 just before Sequim. They are awesome!


Every object is another opportunity for a climb for this girl.......She is definitely the child of Don and Marliese! Now we know why we haven't traveled to Nepal yet......we have this little mountain-goat to take!!!!


Daddy checks to see if Cassidy okays this tree! We went to a beautiful tree farm and cut our own.......too cool!
