Christmas Tree Hunt 08

We were excited this year to be able to get a much taller tree than prior years because our new house has a two story family room. We found out after much searching that the taller the tree, the more imperfections. After about 30 minutes we found the perfect tree! Liam was very concerned about Papa cutting the tree down. He kept saying "oh no, oh no!" A hot cocoa at the Rock Cliff Inn after the hunt changed his tune though....

Thanksgiving

The Humphreys and Houghtons all under one roof! What a treat :) So much fun, so much food, good times.

Polar Express (Mt Hood Railroad)

The Lemms, Stalicks, and Humphreys made the drive out to Hood River to board the Polar Express! The trip took us to the North Pole to visit Santa. The kids had so much fun riding the train in their striped jammies, drinking hot cocoa, eating cookies, and singing carols on the train ride. Half way thru the ride, the train stopped to pick up Santa at the North Pole, before turning around for Oregon ;) Each of the kids were allowed the opportunity to sit on Santa's lap (or not) and tell him what they wanted for Christmas. Not a taker in the entire bunch. Figures...

White River Cabin-Nov 08

A spur of the moment trip to the infamous White River Cabin for a weekend of R 'n R, fishing, hunting, and family time!
