Christmas in Photos...

...a lot of photos.
The Christmas celebrations began on Saturday in Shelton with the Hearn family.
My niece Tillie's second Christmas!

Tillie & her Mama.

Tillie & Levi.

Tillie & Great Poppa Don.

Look! I took a photo without Tillie in it! :)
Carolyn & Dad after he gave her a cross necklace.

And back to Tillie, this time with cousin Seth.

Meredith with Grandma & Poppa.

Skip to Sunday's celebration with the Winstons. The first Christmas without G-paw. My cousins came into town & we toasted to G-paw with his favorite scotch. It's so great to have the four of us together.
Me trying out the little girl's traditional Swedish cap.

I love this photo of my Uncle Steve. :)

G-maw decorating Levi with the package trimmings.

We decided it looked even better on her.

Christmas morning!
Both my family & Levi's family gathered together this year for a joint celebration at my sister's house.
Here's Momma getting breakfast ready.

The menfolk with the ties from their stockings.

Boo & I being silly in the falling snow.

JP & Elyse entertaining each other while waiting to open presents.

My new Nau jacket!
A present I was very excited about.

It was magical to have snowflakes falling on Christmas Day!

The wood truck I rescued from the flooded farm in Chehalis & fixed up for my Mom.

The bike Levi refinished for his sister.
Hopefully he'll post more about it soon.

And my new bike!! I know, I know--didn't I get a new mountain bike earlier this year? Yes, but this is the bike that spoiled me for all other bikes! It's my friend Joy's Trek & for months now we've thrown around the idea that we would buy it from her once she got her new Julian. Levi picked it up from her a couple days ago & completely surprised me with it on Christmas morning! While it's older, an '01, it has a great set-up & amazing wheels. Let's hope the trails have a little chance to dry out & I can get out on it!

Snow! (hopefully more tomorrow!)

A Merry Christmas to all & to all a good night.
