Happy Birthday LORIEN #9

They grow up too fast, miss not living closer so we can interact more.

Born 9 years ago today, Jeff and Rachel's first child was welcomed to family

Doesn't take long to grow up and add a little brother Eddie.

Christmas EVE DAY...

Sunshine, 50 degrees, peaceful...presents delivered, cards mailed, groceries bought and we're settling down for a long winter's nap at home. No mad freeway traffic or bad weather road to contend with just peace and home and us. Missing family but they are all busy elsewhere.

In the West Santa Claus comes by stagecoach...

They aren't reindeer but get the job done...

Cute weiner dog Santa...

Beautiful wreath made by a writing friend Wendy.

 MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT

Hiking dining date to ZION PARK

with hubby to a new eating place that Sarah who lives in Seattle told us about. It's called Rositas Santa Fe Kitchen in Zion Park.  Just opened and the food was tasty although an hour's drive away, but we combined eating with a walking experience in the park. Not crowded there as everyone is out shopping for Christmas. A refreshing day away from home with sunshine and 60 degrees.
