| John and our friend Lindsay had a office white elephant so I threw these together. The "owls" are made from the vacuum dust! |
John asked me to drive so I took over at a gas station. 15 minutes into driving I spilled hot chocolate all over my lap and was burning!! That was the end of my driving.
We stayed the night mainly at my parent's because my in-law's are in the process of building a home and living at Gramps and Grandma Peggy's. We did stay a couple of nights at Dallas and Kristy's though, which was fun! We stuck to the usual plan and spent Christmas Eve/morning at the Powell's and made it up to the Morgan's by the afternoon.
The rest of the break was spent....

The rest of the break was spent....
- Swimming, swimming, and swimming at Brasada Ranch. It was 45 F outside, but they had the outdoor pool heated to 85 F.
- The annual shotgun shoot that I participated in and actually shot some clay pigeons.
- Playing in the rec. barn at the R&B Ranch.
- Spending time with family.
- The great weather in Central Oregon
- Going on rangers and letting Colby pet Grandma Peggy's horses
- Celebrating our 2 year anniversary! We celebrated on Saturday since the 29th fell on a Sunday. We went out to dinner at Red Robin, picked up some hot chocolate and went ice skating at Inn at the Seventh Mountain. Grandma Laurie and Grandpa John babysat for us! I think they were in heaven. :)
- Dallas put together a really fun game night with six teams and we competed in various activities like racing a with an egg on a spoon.
