Last weekend marked our 5th Annual trip to Plain, Washington. This getaway has now become one of the great traditions in Plain history and what a great weekend it was! Time was spent relaxing, eating, sledding, visiting and yes...more sledding. A huge thank you goes to Chris and Amy for the wonderful invite once again! Another great year with good times for everyone!
The infamous Beatte cabin. Thanks so much to Gordy and Margaret for having us year after year!
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!Thanks again to all of you for another year at the cabin, filled with many new memories!
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!
A great shot of the guys...Dad and Dave.
And a great shot of the gals...Mom and Karen!
A trip to Taco Treat is an absolute must whenever we are in Great Falls! Who needs a Thanksgiving feast, when you can have a Cheese Crisp with Beef?
Before...check out the really cool light orange paint.
More really cool light orange paint, fully equipped with lovely blue tape!
Karen hard at work. This was the trickiest corner of the entire kitchen and she handled it like a painting pro!
After...The final product! Spicy Hue adds spice to any kitchen! 
A second look at the finished product...the floor, the countertops and the new color. Next up: new hardware for the cabinets!
Yes...that is Mom running across the street to get to the Capitol! I guess she was really excited to get there! What great form!
Kevin and Mom...what a great shot!
A classic self-portrait in the smallest elevator in all of Denver!
Here we are in Boulder. We drove there for the day...great shopping was had by all! GO BUFFS!
Lewis and Clark even made an appearance during this trip! HARK!
Yet another self-portrait! I love this one!
