Christmas break

I realize that in order to keep the locals happy we had better post some pictures of our Christmas break. It was Sooooooo great to go back to the Northwest and visit our family and friends. We started with one night at Christy and Larry's house in Bellevue, then we took a one night trip to Newberg, then we bounced around some more in the houses of Marilee's family in the Seattle area over Christmas. Here are the prime pictures:Matt and our niece Danica, the newest addition to the family, whom we hadn't met until this visit.

Marilee and Sasha, our niece who we had seen briefly on the day of her birth, but not for 6 months!

Luke is intently studying the present that we brought for him, which he REALLY wanted to open AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

Marilee and our lone nephew, Luke.

Marilee and Elaina, who is now 6 years old, and missing her front teeth!
