We celebrated Christmas at our place (Keith & Denise) yesterday. I made everyone wear a santa hat or antlers for one photo. There were 17 of us stuffed into our very small house. Keith cooked a delicious turkey, Natalie- Mashed Potatoes to die for, Carol - yummiest Cherry Pie, Mardi and her famous fudge, Veronica and her yummy cheesey dip as well as peppermint bark, Debbie- delish sweet potatoes with rosemary, Sandy and her cranberry relish and I made an apple pie.

From left to right: Nick (Veronica's boyfriend), Veronica, Mike, Mardi, Keith, Denise (one eye peeking out!), Stephanie, Jani (Mardi's sister, aka Phoenix), Natalie, Shane, Rick, Rachel, Carol (Rick's mom), Wally Francis (denise's brother in law), Debbie Francis (denise's sister) and Sandy Wallace (denise's mom).

Joey, our dog loves pie and managed to finish the cherry pie this afternoon when no one was watching.

Baked goods before Joey discovered them.....

How can you stay mad at this?

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and best wishes for a happy, healthy 2008!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas....we did!! And have plans for a fun New Year!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!

OOPS forget this picture, I am trying to send a slide show that Kelsey was helping me with but they had to head back to Ohio:( so I will try again.

SantaCon!

Every year in Portland, hundreds of people dress as Santa and go bar-hopping for 12 hours. I read about this a few years ago and have been looking forward to participating this year. It was so much fun! I lasted till about 11pm. Thank God for great public transportation that got me home safe. They estimated over 800 Santas took over downtown Portland on Saturday. Ho Ho Ho!
