Winter in Bend and Mt. Bachelor

Merry Christmas!

We started out Christmas morning at home in Seattle with presents and cinnamon rolls. And yes, Monroe did ask for another suit this year, this time a white one. 

Then we drove to Camas and gathered with the Jacksons/Deans at Grandma Connie's and Grandpa Bob's.

And finally, we visited Grandpa Terry. Unfortunately, Grandma Dianna was visiting her sister, Aunt Pat, so Facetiming with her had to do. Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve

Conway and Monroe performed in our church's Christmas Eve service this year. They sang songs with the kids' choir and each had a role in the nativity play. Monroe was one of the wisemen and Conway was Angel Gabriel. Not sure they are wise or angelic, but they did a great job and looked pretty cute up there!

Piano Recital

Another piano recital for the big boys at The Royal Room - they're getting pretty good! Monroe snuck in the picture even though he hasn't started taking piano lessons yet. He has been asking when he can start, though, so maybe he'll officially be on the program next time. Check out these little pianists...

It's Santa!
