stuff and things...and Christmas too

Saturday the 23rd!
Amaris and i finished our Christmas presents for the family...


i headed to the Meyers' where David showed us all amazing pictures from his 80 days of wilderness training in the Pacific Northwest. it was beautiful...


Then there came a fierce couple of rounds of Telepictionary...probably one of the best we've ever played. Any questions about this fabulous game can be answered in this post from last year.



So much laughing...Bob started sounding like he was in pain after a while...




Christmas morning...

look, presents!


i like how Christmas morning has bscome much simpler ...just one or two gifts each. and Alec was here this year. so that was special...





Maela sat and watched the whole deal...trying so hard to figure out what was going on...


Sarah and Alec showing off their prizes. You can also see a painting i did of my grandma on the wall behind them...
and yes, Alec got Sarah a brown bathrobe. :)


i only have a few pictured from Christmas night with the whole family...plus a few more...it was a very lovely evening. it went so fast i can hardly remember it. i do remember the prime rib was amazing...
Jef, Amy, Johnny and Kyle...



yesterday there was some hang out time at the Pikes...





last night mom practiced her juggling...thanks to Alec, she is completely addicted. it's hilarious.



today my mom, aunt Wren and i went on a hike to the waterfall...it was cold and clear and lovely. i think hiking is one of my favorite things in the world.


word on the street is that there are some Pappas's coming to town...
