Merry Christmas trip to Pendleton!

Merry Christmas everyone! John and I returned from a week of fun and excitement with our families! I must warn you all that there are many pictures to view since we got a fancy new camera for ourselves for Christmas! Hope everyone is having a Happy Happy Holiday!

The pugs got another taste of snow when we went up to the cabin! They had a lot of fun and I couldn't resist putting these neck-warmers on them. I think that the pink suits Charlie quite well! On this trip we have made an effort to get more pictures of us together since we currently have very few! So here is us with our kids sitting on the couch warming up! The snow up at the cabin was perfect for snowballs and snowmen so John and Tim began making snowmen immediately! John made a snow-bear and Tim made a funny looking cartoon snowman! I think they had fun playing together! hehehe!

We got our "redneck" on by driving out to the country and shooting milkjugs filled with water. Here are some good pictures of us sharpshooters! Watch out everyone!

I had to live up the part a little more by putting this handsome bright orange cap on. We wouldn't want someone to shoot me on accident it was a safety precaution...yeah. Here I am acting the part of some kind of crazy war hungry lady holding some kind of a gun which my father referred to as a "mini 17" (I have no idea what that means but it was fun to shoot and I can count myself all the deafer for not wearing the earmuffs while rampaging).

Charlie stopped for a photo shoot here on this giant gravel pile.

Chester wrecked his motorcycle and wanted proof that he had one so he demanded that John take a picture of him next to it.

Here is the small crew we had for our Christmas dinner. Not quite like the good old days, but not too bad considering where everyone has to travel from! If you ask me, we are a pretty good-looking bunch!

Here is us with that sweet "little girl" Amelia Wendler (my brother's daughter). I am here with my cousin Bree and my sister-in-law Melanie.

We had a really great time with everyone! Thanks to everyone for being such a great family! We both love you all so much!
