Christmas # 5 and "scoot scoot"

My mom got to ride scoot scoot tonight
and the rest of these pictures have nothing
to do with my scooter:) Just loved the picture

This is from Christmas # 5 at the Converse's in Corvallis

Mags was better at walking in my shoes than I was!

Probably the most normal picture I've ever seen of these 2!!

And he's making a sort of normal face in this one too!

The girlies

The whole gang. Jeff, you look amazing!

The adorable Roe kids

Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Ours isn't quite over....we still have

2 more in the valley but here's an update

on a couple of our Christmases.

Jim bought me a scooter!!!! It's the cutest thing ever.....

But I can't exactly ride it yet:) It's a win win because

I love a white Christmas!

Here are some pictures from my family's Christmas last night

This was the drive over the pass for the Roe family Christmas

Oh yeah, we got our nieces and nephews summer sausage....sure!

They were slightly confused....don't worry, we got them other stuff too!

Grandpa reading the Christmas story

Daddy's girl

Sorry for my lack of posting as of late.

I will get better, but this will have to do for now:)

Merry Christmas to you all!

Ribbon cutting

While we've been open for over a month, we just

had our official RIBBON CUTTING on Wednesday.

Members of the Redmond Chamber of Commerce

as well as others from the community came down to

partake in the festivities and we fed them

yummy muffins and awesome coffeeHere we are, all official. It was cool to see how many

people came down for this

We even got to hold the big scissors!

You can tell I just got done with a long day's work:)

Starlight gala

Every Christmas, my grandparent's church has a

Starlight Gala, a christmas fundraise if you will. You dress up,

get a gourmet dinner, bid on items in a silent auction

as well as a live auction and then dance to live music

with a bunch of adorable old people!

We decided to go this year and it was a blast!!Here we are all dressed up!

Jim and Branden looking sharp

Here's the gang, Branden, Hailey, Colleen, Brise and us

Wish I had documented the "older table" with parents,

aunts and uncles, grandparents because they all

looked amazing!!

Branden and Hailey were the auction "runners."
They made sure people actually paid for their items.

Jim was sad that he only bought 1 thing at the auction.
He loves the thrill of auctioning!!
We got a night at Eagle Crest with dinner and golf!

Here we are cutting a rug....notice the classic Jim move

And the best picture of the night.....Jim dancing

with an amazing old lady! Look at both of their

faces!!!!!!!!

Onesie Follow up

So you all remember this.........

But how about this!

Holiday Job

Jim and his many jobs:)

My dad and Jim bid a job for the city of Redmond

to permanently set up all of the downtown buildings

with Christmas lights.
So, all last week, they got to be Santa's little helpers.

The city provided the lifts and they had traffic blocked

off and everything!

Vests and hard hats are all part of the job
Here's Jim in the lift.....note the one side

of traffic blocked off just for our guys

Oh hey Jim!
Really hard to capture the end result at night

but it looks amazing!

You guys will just have to drive downtown Redmond

because this clearly doesn't do it!
