Christmas in Oregon

Yes, I know it is well past Christmas, but what can I say, I'm lazy about editing pictures! And since I have a ton of them I will try to break this up a bit...

We drove down to Oregon on Christmas day in surprisingly good weather considering that half the highways had been closed for the better part of that week due to snow and ice. We stopped in the Dalles to see the great grandparents and got in really really late. Cory didn't want to sleep in that unfamiliar place plus he was really upset having woken up in the car about a half hour out and cried the rest of the way. Poor little guy!

But the rest of the week went pretty well. And you know the grandparents enjoyed having the little one around!

The most exciting part, watching Cory open his presents!

Cory got nice toys and tons of books!


Derald got a new shirt... which made a nice blanket for a quick snooze!
