I need a vacation from vacation!

Here are some pictures from the week my family (minus cori and fam) was here. I loved having them here!!!Charlie's favorite seat was Taylor's lap. They were buddies. Taylor ran laps around my house yelling "Charlie! Charlie! Chase me!" and of course, he did. Here's Charlie opening his Christmas present. Auntie Cori got him a flamingo with a giant tennis ball as the body and ropes as the legs. The poor flamingo didn't last long. It was only a matter of hours before it lost it's wings and head. The body and legs lasted about a week. Poor flamingo.
Here was our spread for Christmas dinner, about five minutes before I spilled a glass of sparkling cider into the cheesy potatoes.
And we went to Sisters to see my cousin Emily and family. They had a little snow. Quite a shock to our California visitors.

And note to self for next year: Do not leave a cheese ball unattended when Charlie is around. He likes cheese balls.

It was great to see pics of your family! The snow looks beautifully cold also:) I am sure Charlie really enjoyed that cheese ball and probaby would call it the best part of Christmas for him!
