Yearly Lights

The yearly Corvallis lights are always a must do at Christmas. This year had more new fun

Tamale Making

8 hours of tamale making after taking a class last week. A long fun day. So many tamales for the freezer to share:)

Ugly Sweater Season

It is ugly sweater week! Today Greta celebrated the 8 crazy nights with her Jewish “ come on baby light my menorah” sweater and her matzah ballin’ socks. 

Fieldin and I made his last night. He wanted the cat from national lampoons Christmas vacation that ate the tree light wire on his sweater. I was sick but some how managed to help with this:)

Lil’ Man’s Christmas Concert #1

He is the little drummer boy in the Santa hat standing in the back. 

Winter Formal

Greta went to her first high school winter formal with 6 friends including her church buddy, above, from a different school. It was a busy day of getting ready and taxiing kiddos around. They all had fun so the time and effort was worth it. 

Greta and her best friend spent the day getting ready together. I still remember them as kindergarteners so this brought a tear to my eye! 

Sharing His Love Of Music

Fieldin took a couple friends to a silver sun pickups concert in Portland. After the concert, by chance, they got to meet the lead bassist which was pretty exciting.  Greta and I couldn’t make it and are quite jealous. They are such a great band. 

Back To Work

Only a few more weeks until state competition....
