Christmas-ing on the Oregon Coast

We missed photographing some of the fun memories of making cookies and putting together puzzles with Grandpa (we were too busy making cookies and putting together puzzles) but here are some of our pictures. You can check out more photos of the fun on Thadd’s blog, or on Shannon and John’s, or on Mr. Allen’s.

Celtics Open Practice

We got to go to the C‘s open practice again this year. This time we watched them practice in the Garden. Last year, we had to drive up to Lowell to watch them practice. Big Baby introduced everyone in a way only he could – his teammates were in turn embarrassed or embarrassed for him or laughing out loud! Even Rasheed Wallace was there! That was great! After some sets and scrimmages, they signed autographs on free tee-shirts and gave them to fans and took off their gear, getting ready to head home. Nate was drilling 3′s and Ray was trying to distract him by throwing his huge tennis shoes in front of him. So Nate grabbed one of Ray’s shoes, and made Ray chase him shoeless around the court. He finally tossed it into the crowd. Ray finally gave up and had one of the younger guys toss his other shoe into the crowd on the other side of the court before walking back to the locker room in his socks. Baby took his requisite pictures with a baby and then it was a night. We had a great time – and for Jeannette’s folks, it was like visiting another country!

The Cape & Newport with the Allen Folks

When Jeannette’s folks came back to Boston from their Bermuda trip, we took a weekend trip out to the Cape and then on to Newport, RI. We had a fun time going out to the tip of the Cape and Josh found a new favorite Cape restaurant, The Paddock. In Newport, we always enjoy the downtown by the waterfront. We had a great time playing cards and hanging out.

Red Sox v Yankees – Obstructed View

We finally were able to attend our first Red Sox – Yankees game at Fenway… We got tickets through the lottery… obstructed view tickets! But they were our first obstructed view tickets we’ve ever had at Fenway so it was a little fun, in and of itself.

Jeannette’s folks were in town and since the Sox were playing so poorly we were able to get reasonably priced tickets for them to come too. The game ended up getting postponed due to rain after we waited at the park for 3 or 4 hours without even one pitch being thrown. When we came back for the game the next day, there were so many open seats we were able to all sit together. Our delayed game was the SECOND game of the double header played, and it began late due to the first game going into extra innings. Then our game went into extra innings – so it was a late night! But the Sox won (7-6)!
