We dreamed of a white Christmas (and got it).

We drove up to Leavenworth, WA, the day before Xmas Eve. We went through The Dalles and Yakima. There was about 3 feet of snow on the ground! Leavenworth changed itself into a Bavarian Christmas village about 20 years ago. Above is the inn. Below was taken on our sleighride.

Xmas breakfast inside the inn. Steph is on the right. All the dates are wrong. That happens each time I recharge the battery.

Xmas Party

Ian, Bob, Dave, Jeff. I say Dave and Jeff look alike, but most people disagreed.
Patty and Simon in front of the fire.
Shannon, Dave, and Lou.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....

Thanksgiving Day

Ian (Li'l Buddy), Laura, Cary, Chloe. For the first time Thanksgiving was at Dave & Leslie's. It was nice. Steph and I went to the beach for the weekend. Oh, and Steph broke her ankle pretty bad in late October, and was in a wheelchair.
Steph thinks all pictures of her are terrible, but I think this one is very interesting. And kinda cute.
