Oh what a Christmas it was this year! I have to say it was not like any we'd had ever before. Crazy snow storm, one
niece with an
abscessed tooth, another one who went to the E.R. with a smashed finger, my car sliding within inches of a truck on an icy street, a surprise visit from
G'ma and
G'pa who braved the bad weather to be a part of it all, not having the girls for Christmas dinner to name a few. But it was good--and I was thankful that we could all be together once again.
Uncle Mark and Grace outside in the snow. We had Christmas Eve dinner at our house (my favorite mexican pork recipe. yum.) and the Perry boys joined us since their family was unable to get up to their house in the hills. It was fun to have them!
All the cousins in their new Christmas p.j.'s that
g'ma and
g'pa bought for them. So cozy!
All the action during the cousin gift exchange and receiving gifts from Aunt Susan and Uncle Greg. It was very exciting!
G'ma and
G'pa drove up from Salem to participate in all of the fun. They had literally been in their house due to the snowstorm and grandpa's recovery from open heart surgery for 2+ weeks! They spent the night here and we had a very full house!
Christmas dinner over at the Slater household. Claudine whipped up some amazing prime rib, spinach/bacon salad, and cheesy cauliflower. It was
delish! Unfortunately Mark had to have a warmed plate, as he was at the E.R. taking care of Catie's finger.
Me, Susan, and Claudine. Oh yah, real snow bunnies.
