Christmas 2010

So this year the boys out voted me and we merrily put up the christmas tree whilst we baked our thanksgiving turkey! We had a fun time looking through all the ornaments and getting ready to host dinner for our New York family. On the 15th of December we flew out to Oregon for our 3 week visit. This year we had great flights and great weather in Eugene. In past years we have had ice and snow on the roads and gotten stuck and Nana and Papa's house :( Eric and Lindsay were in town and we got to catch up with them and Uncle Alex who was home from college.
