WHAT FUN!

It wasn’t quite over the hill and through the woods to Grandmothers house we go. But it was over the mountain pass, Santiam Pass 4,817 ft. and through the woods, lodgepole pine to my son’s house for a family birthday gathering. You see we celebrate my son, son in law and one granddaughter all in December. This year the travel was wonderful, no snow on road, no ice, so no chain up, yeah! As usual I don’t have the camera out when an opportunity presents itself. Friday evening the moon was so bright as we drove over the pass with snow covering the ground and the trees in the moonlight - beautiful.

It had to be a large cake to get all the names on and with 16 of us who love frosting, no need to explain more.

It was quite a challenge to get all the candlelight with all the on lookers!

Then it was a joint effort to blow them out!

What would a holiday weekend be without visiting a reindeer ranch? There were many to view but I'm only posting one. You see the very special ones are already gone to the North Pole to get ready for that special flight. Another group left for Disneyland and Disney World. I forgot to ask how their flight went.

Then it was to see that great big guy in the red suit and beard. Oh what fun we had with pictures. I’m only including a couple of the little grand’s and the big kids!

They are all growing up so fast.

We don’t talk about their ages anymore for that really makes me “old”.

Now can you believe I did something horrible? If the pictures look a little fuzzy it is because I spilled coffee on them. Yes, my dreaded cup as I am driving to work tipped over. So, so sad I was.

Now it is back to reality and working on that furniture issue I have. I hate to admit it but still no furniture in the house. It seems other things take priority.

Sad Coffee Spill, June
