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.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!


We decorated this weekend!

Our front door:

Putting our “tree” up and decorating it:
(Note our “fireplace” behind Jeannette – and we were listening to carols on Pandora on Josh’s phone”.)

I love that owl!

We put a few more ornaments & decorations around the apartment.

Ol’time-y Santa hangs through the pass through into the kitchen:

A set of angels:

What do a snowman, wisemen on a camel and a South American man in boat have in common?  Christmas!

I love mercury glass.  (Ho Ho Ho!)

In Memory of Grandma Brown:

We got a super fun wreath to put under our “tree” for some real green.  We tried to add lights – but found out that we hate LEDs.  They are very bah-humbug/Las Vegas strip.

So we went no lights (with our metal “tree” we needed less LED-like).  Someday we’ll have a real tree!  Maybe we’ll upgrade to a Charlie Brown tree next year.

Did you notice our “tree-topper” (or tree-hover-er)?

And finally, just some fun shots of our ornaments:

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a great Thanksgiving keeping our tradition of joining Pastor John and Suzanne at their house for dinner.  (We brought Grandma Brown’s green bean casserole and Mama Judi’s Pumpkin Dessert!) We are thankful for our family and dear friends, health, our happy little life in our cute little apartment, our employment and our freedoms (and our sports teams, too!).
