CHRISTMAS
matching elf pajamas!
we saw the new star wars movie on it opening weekend. it was so fun (with our matching sequin darth vader sweatshirts & fire alarm!). we love to be in the hub-bub!
i had a doctors appointment or something so cheri offered to take tess for the afternoon. they went downtown for lunch and tess loved being a lady who lunches.
we celebrated the smith family christmas at norm and rebeccas and the boys had a great time playing with the other boy cousins. "mom, they can punch as hard as they want. i have a helmet on". (keep in mind the other boys are like 10)
jocelyn had her baby! george weighed a little over ten pounds and had a TON of hair! i loved racing down to portland to meet this little nugget only about 15 minutes after he was born.
the following day i met up with a few friends from high school for lunch. we hadnt seen each other since graduation! it was a blast catching up. 
that night megan hosted her annual gingerbread house decorating party. fun as always.
christmas eve at matts! tagg loves spending time with tucker when hes home from college. 
the lights at redmond town center are so pretty. 
cookies are made & milk is set out, christmas jammies are on.. they are ready for santa!
speaking of santa. he stayed up late (with the help of a few elves) putting together a trampoline.
tess LOVED sully's motorcycle. her little 'vroom vroom' noises are the best.

surprising the boys with their trampoline!

this is going to be fun (and safe, i hope).
that afternoon we spent time with my family at my parents' house. when i looked over and saw tess handing sam this little cheetah my heart melted. so dang sweet.
this picture doesnt do my mom's beautiful (and delicious) yule log justice.
tess loves bouncing on the trampoline.
and the boys love their new "gaming chairs".
such a wonderful christmas. i love all of our traditions so much. cant wait to groundhog day it all over again next year.
