Bailey and Machen hanging out with some Edmonds locals.
It's an Edmonds kind of self-portrait. What a beautiful day!
Since Payton had volleyball practice, she was not able to join us during our excursion Edmonds. She was deeply missed, but on our minds! We love to give her a bad time for never being around for "family time". What a great sport she is!
A sad Shrum Family. Where, oh where, is Payton???
She is still missing! What shall we do?
Perhaps we can find a "Payton Stand-In"! Payton? Is that you? (Yes, we actually asked a complete stranger to fill in for her. She was more than willing to play the part.) FUNNY!
There she is! Payton has returned and is taking part in Family Time...double dutch style! Look at the focus displayed by all 3 of the Shrum gals!
Bailey and I jumping...we are getting ready to take this show on the road!
Nice work Bailey! Love the hair! That is the sign of a true jumper! Payton was stellar on the rope twirling!Thanks to the Shrum Fam for a great day...good times! So long, farewell!
Thanks to the Roselli Fam for having us over for dinner, dancing, bouncing and Guitar Hero! There were good times had by all!
Marine Park...looking out to Bellingham Bay - Take 1
Marine Park...looking out to Bellingham Bay - Take 2, a different perspective. What a pretty day this was. The sun had just gone down.
Bill has the absolute best ears in the history of cute ears. I love them...so expressive!
Bill is basking in the Winter sun. Ahhhhhhh!
A classic Plain self-portrait...Elizabeth, Susan, Amy and me. This one took about 4 tries, but we finally got it!
The traditional Gazebo Jig, minus Chris (of the Comeau variety). The Roselli Fam is having a good ol' time in freezing Leavenworth!
And, yes...there was sledding and lots of it! Kudos to the event photographer, Brian Viles!
Mom and I took a walk to Haggen to pick up some Holiday goodies. It sure was a cold one!
Bill loved having Kevin home! This is a rare moment of Bill actually cuddling!
Mom and Dad opening gifts on Christmas Eve from Ron, Leah and Rowan! They're going to be stylin' in their new duds!
Mom, Dad, Kevin and I drove down to Lynnwood on the 26th to celebrate Christmas with Rick, Machen, Payton and Bailey. Grandma and two of her girls...Payton and Bailey! What a great shot of these 3 gals!
Ron sent Rick a cool shirt from his travels to South Carolina. The shirt matched Rick's cool Christmas shorts perfectly!
Machen and Kevin were battling it out in Wii Tennis. As you can tell from the body language, Kevin was victorious and Machen suffered a defeat!
WiiGMa and BaiWii were driving like pros on MarioKart. Look at that concentration! Wii sure did have a great time playing games!
One of the coolest moments came when Mom and Dad opened a once in a lifetime gift. All the kids gave them 2 round trip tickets to Italy to visit Ron, Leah and Rowan! Here's Dad with their Lonely Planet travel book and their boarding passes. Happy travels!!
I know that both Amy and Angela asked Santa for a sweater vest just like mine!
Angela, Amy and Emily are anxiously awaiting the arrivals of their bundles of joy! This is the first official picture their kids will have taken with Santa!
Santa has checked his list...Chris and Susan have been very good this year!
Nick was the recipient of the worst White Elephant gift in the history of White Elephant gifts! Can you tell what he got?
Let it snow! We all took a break from the gift giving to play in the snow!
