Christmas in Oregon

We had a nice Christmas this year. My Mom came over and we exchanged gifts on Christmas day after everyone got up and around. There were a few snow flurries throughout the day which was nice as it gave the day a more Christmas like feel.

Laurie got a pair of pajamas, they came in a small zippered bag, and are adorned with a cat ( what else) he he.

This is a set of steak knives that Mom gave to Laurie, the knives are 50 years old and have never been out of the box.

A red sweater with a hood and pockets

As you can tell by the above pitures Laurie was a bit excited that Santa brought her what she wanted this year. It is a 19" flat screen monitor for her computer at work. She has been using a 17 " flat screen (mine) and a few weeks back she saw a 19" screen ( part of a computer system I was working on) and really liked it. Santa must of heard her because he brought her one. It was cool to see her so excited over it.

Mom opening her gift from Ed. He made her a pen and pencil set (wooden) in her favorite color "Purple". And yes the wood itself is actually purple in color it is not stained or painted.

Samantha has to check out the big box

When Mom got the big box opened she found a beautiful satin bedspread set, complete with sheets, pillow cases and shams. Of course it was in her favorite color.

This is hard to see but it is a special saw designed to cut tile, pipe and laminate flooring. I think someone is trying to tell me something. Ha ha!

I also recieved some beautiful sweaters, they sure will be handy with the cold weather we have been having.

A complete tool kit filled with all sorts of drill bits. I think Santa has some projects in mind!

And of course Samantha and Shorty had to investigate everything to make sure it met their approval.

Investigating the wrapping paper to make sure we did not miss something.

We hope that everyone has had a wonderful Christmas and may the New Year be a good one for you and all those you know.
