Christmas 2008

So, I've been a slacker with this whole blogging thing. But what do you expect? I am going to school full-time, well 22 credits to be exact and still working. Needless to say the blog has been neglected. Now that I am in the swing of things for this term, hopefully it will settle down a bit. Here is our wonderful 2008 Christmas pictures that have been sitting on the computer for months now. We had a wonderful, yet unexpected Christmas at the Kelly's this year. We were supposed to be in Utah for Christmas, again this year, and the unexpected "Arctic Blast" kept us in Oregon. So we improvised. And, I got called into work on Christmas Eve after I told my boss that our trip was cancelled. It was a sad thing but I had to do it. Tom, Tracy, Steve and Sam had the traditional Tracy Kelly Christmas Eve dinner and I went to work. Once I got off work, I went back to the Kelly's and we all had yummy lemon ice and read the Christmas story. Sam and I stayed the night at the Kelly's and we woke up on Christmas morning and enjoyed a yummy breakfast together. We opened our gifts and enjoyed Christmas morning together. Sam and I then tried to venture to Hood River for the day, but the snow started coming down like crazy in Portland so we were detoured to the Jensen's for Christmas dinner. We had a wonderful time at their house with Tom and Lisa, Megan, Craig, Kathy and Don, Tom and Tracy and Steve. It was a great Christmas holiday and it was nice to spend it in Oregon this year.
