Canyon Life

November's long gone, we're already smack dab in the middle of December. Sheesh. I can't keep up. I just got back from the airport, my mother in law should be safely to Reno by now, kids are asleep (I think), Brett's in bed with a yucky virus. I just started some Christmas shopping tonight, all online, I don't like shopping in stores much. Who needs to, when amazon has free shipping? 

I think I will stick to random picture posts for awhile. I can't seem to sit down long enough to actually structure a real blog post, not that I'm that proficient at it to begin with. No matter!

Brett and his sister drove to Reno a few weeks ago to see their momma, then they ran into a storm on the way home. I miss snow, but I don't miss driving in it all that much.

Sharon and I. Disneyland passes are so much fun during the Christmas season. We just stroll and people watch. Coffee, a beautiful sister, cheery atmosphere.

We can't stop with the moustaches. We just can't.

Awwww. This is my sweet cousin Alex, she visited last week. She's 17, loves horses and roller coasters. Love her. Alex is autistic, Disneyland is one of her very favorite places to visit. They give her the pass that allows her to skip waiting in lines. Feels like cheating.

Alex's sister Samantha and their momma, my stinker of a cousin Jennefer. Last year around this time, Jen was finishing up her chemo and radiation for cervical cancer. She's been cancer free for a few months!

Lisa and I. I think we were at the Christmas Coffee.

Tower of Terror, Jennefer has great hair. Me, not so much. Someday I will have long and flowing hair, perhaps it will be blonde. Perhaps I will quit making that face in pictures.

Perhaps I won't stop making that face in pictures. At least Sam looks cute.

That big wind storm last week, buncha trees landed on my porch. One put a big hole in the roof. We were not as bad off as all my family in Arcadia, they were without power for days, looks like a disaster zone up there. I don't think they've seen a storm like that in decades.

The Christmas Coffee centerpieces, Lisa made 65 of these. Beautiful!

The nieces and nephews came out yesterday to visit with Brett's momma and make Christmas cookies. I think this has become somewhat of a tradition.

Kids Music Team at church, learning some new songs. So blessed to work where I do.
