More Merry

OVER THE RIVER AND TO THE WOODS: Christmas morning we left one set of grandparents' house for another, driving from Vancouver, USA, to Siletz, Ore. It would mark our third grandparents' house visit in two days, having visited Lake Oswego family on Christmas Eve. Here's CJ during our Lake Oswego stop, reading up a bit about that city's history.

Annabelle love the icicles on the tree.

There, it was time for more food and fun with family.

CHRISTMAS MIRACLE: On our way to Siletz, we stopped at a Safeway in Corvallis that was open on Christmas day. Imagine CJ an Annabelle's delight when we spied some Twinkies knock offs on the shelf. CJ, especially, was devastated by Twinkies' demise, so this was a most welcome development.

Though the box doesn't bear the Twinkies name, the golden, creme filled cakes were a suitable substitute.

 

IN THE SWIM: One of the highlights of visiting family in Siletz is a swim in their lovely pool. CJ made some great swimming strides with the help of Aunt Erika.
