Nehalem Christmas!

On to our second Christmas: Nehalem! Our stockings were hung on the island with care... girls to the right, boys to the left. Kids in the middle. :)

Merry Christmas dinner! And the whole family was present! The BEST scalloped potatoes you've ever had.

Sister made rice krispies treats - double layer! Plain on the bottom, cocoa krispies on the top!

My Dad gave me this recently discovered photo of my paternal grandmother (Josephine) as a teenager...I love it!

My mom gave me this gorgeous necklace. Sweet sister got a matching one!

Afore-mentioned Sweet Sister painstakingly crafted these hand-embroidered pillow cases! Such lovely handiwork!!

And a Christmas visit from an old friend...Sharky!!
