Cool, my very own tee pee!
All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth
Without those two front teeth, my family may mistake me for a vampire!
Gaming
Cecilia played her first trump game,
and then participated in her first bocce ball match.
We will wait until she is walking before introducing ping pong.(look at those wide stances!)
This crazy game of jumping in the cool waters was only for two brave souls...
who would never have considered engaging in such a feat if this hot tub (and a beer) wasn't waiting for them on the deck.
Winter Beach Retreat
Tenneal's family gathered at the beach last weekend for a late Thanksgiving celebration.
Cecilia was happy to reunite with her grandparents
-and sand.
Great views for lunch.
Siblings and C
Siblings, C and Grampa D
Trevor walked around barefoot most of the weekend despite record low temperatures.
Cecilia is either enraptured by the story about the Oregon coast or by Seth's facial hair.
Hanging out with Grammy
Weekend Getaway to Germany!
After a wonderful breakfast at Steve and Jen's, we set out for a quick family trip to Bavaria.
So, we actually went to Leavenworth, a small town set in the Cascade Range that boasts only Bavarian themed buildings. Even McDonald's looks like it should be set in Garmisch. ---sorry, no good pictures of the town. this shot with the lighted buildings in the background is all we have---
We stayed at the Autumn Pond B&B where we were treated to the most marvelous breakfasts.
Unfortunately, Trevor caught a cold....look at those eyes:(.... so he took it easy, while Cecilia played near the wood stove and on the staircase!
Cecilia spied a new obstacle and took off across the room to commence her first ascent.

Fresh mountain air- one thing we are thankful for:)We hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving.
We are thankful for each one of you reading this.
Much love from TnT and Little C.
Thanksgiving with the Michaels
Thanks Steve and Jen for cooking up such a tasty bird (and for inviting us into your home for a cozy night stay).
Unsolicited support from Trevor makes carving turkeys more fun.
Bella does not look very happy to be sharing the saddle with a small babe.Cecilia, on the other hand, is delighted!
Cameron chills in the Exer-saucer, and Bella is finally free to take a wild ride on her horse without Cecilia on board slowing her down.
Two Dollar Tuesday
Rain or shine, we were not going to miss out on this discount day at the zoo.
Cecilia spent most of the afternoon waving at animals and other kids.
Hello kitties
I want one of those!
We learned early on that snapping a quality picture of Cecilia's face and animal life was fairly impossible for us novices.
She must be waving to a cute cuddly creature here,
or maybe not.
The bald eagle stoically perched above the 2 jesters ;)
Cecilia -vs- Red tailed hawk
One day we will get a clear family shot.
Old Stuff
Cecilia is sitting on a chair that her Great Grandmother Phyllis used when she was a wee one. She is pulled up to a table that came from her Great Grandmother Mary.
Cecilia's Grandma Pixie once sat in this high chair and ate peas and yams.....and hey, that bib is from her cousins in Alaska.We sure love recycled goods around here!
BFF
Best Furry Friend- Mira
Mira is exploring her feelings for Cecilia. She realizes that this pretty gentle and warm body could be a great asset in the coming winter months. Mira likes cuddling and this baby sleeps a lot!
However, that warm body is relentless when awake, and she is crawling faster each day.Thankfully Mira tolerates Cecilia's adoration, because NOTHING makes C happier than her four legged furry friend!
