We arrived in Washington Monday morning at 9:45 to a joyous family waiting of us at the airport! My mom and the kids and Sabina and the girls were all there. It was so great to see them all!

After that we went to my parents house (where we stayed the two weeks home) and retired there for the next two days just relaxing and soaking up being back home.

Our first outing into civilization was out to lunch with mom and the kids at Rocky's pizza in Battle Ground where the following pictures were taken.

How does this cute brother and sister ^
Turn into this? (Below)

The following pictures are Christmas morning and day. We woke up and had Christmas morning with my parents and later went over to Dave and Sabina's for Christmas day!

Mom's turn to open

Danny received a cool gun for Christmas (it's not real)

As always Danny provided plenty of laughs doing things like this!

And this (Dad's pipe)

What would Christmas be without a Christmas puppy?
If only we could have taken him home with us!
