Amazing Christmas Family Gathering in Sisters, OR!

'We were so blessed to all be together this Christmas.  It was really special to have Kyle and LeAnna be able to join us all the way from Colorado! 

We rented an air-b-n-b in Sisters, OR that could accommodate our growing family, and it was amazing! 

 This was taken before the Richie, Lydia and Marilyn were able to join us!

 Lukey was kind of a big hit!!! 

 This is the downstairs living area where we played lots of games! 

 There was this little mobile sauna in one of the rooms. 

 It had this amazing kitchen that was big enough for all of us to gather there. And it had two dishwashers and two ovens!! Perfect for our large group! This was taken before our Friday night Mexican food meal! 

 They had a lego loft!  How cool is that? 

 This was our goodies table! 

 Atta boy, Lukey!  Taken after your mom in your dare devil stunts!  

(Well, probably Dad, too! ;-) 

 This was the biggest bean bag we had ever seen! 

 It was such a pleasure listening to both LeAnna and Caroline play the piano!

We divied up the meals and Taylor and Victoria made Saturday morning breakfast! 

Victoria pre-made cinnamon rolls!!! 

And Taylor cooked sausage and eggs for everyone! 

 

 "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth!"

 We were so thankful to have some snow to play in!  And it made it all the more Christmasey!

 I took a bunch of pictures of Victoria.  I couldn't resist!  She is just so adorable right now!!! 

 This was Caroline's special little room.  It was perfect for her! 

 This was our Christmas dinner.  Everyone brought dishes to share! 

 Then, the great gift exchange! 

We did a little gift exchange for the littles and one for the bigs. :-) 

These are just a few of the pictures!  It was a very fun time with lots of gifts being shared! 

 And desserts!!! 

 Next day, playing with a few of the gifts that were received . . . 

 For the gift exchange, Valerie had me, and blessed me with this Steven Curtis Chapman concert at the end of the weekend!
