Christmas in Oregon

And they just keep coming....

The rest of my treasures, in a weird order but whatevs. They have to be shared.

Dave's baddest of bad Christmas sweaters (want to have a bad Christmas sweater party, Mom?) and the weird visor/wig gift from his brother Joe, which is indicative of most of Dave's gifts from his siblings. 


Fredericksburg. I really enjoyed our visit here.
As I was looking through these pictures it struck me as ironic that all the Union soldiers are buried at the top of Marye's Heights- the hill they tried to so desperately to reach the top of, but only in death did they actually reach it. 


It has become a tradition in our family to sit our children on canons at battlefields. 



Washington DC Temple Festival of Lights with Aunt Lesly:


Oakley's favorite part was the camel ride. Even though the camel didn't go anywhere. She could have sat on that thing for hours.


 A failed attempt at a grandparent/grandkid picture. Oakley wasn't having it. 


And the very same day, a success. All she needed was a little fresh air. 


Hey I just realized that Gabe's not wearing something neon in these pictures. How did we ever keep track of him?



Sporting their Christmas ties all the way from our Elder in Philly.


 Christmas morning. Mom, modeling her hat from Elder Harris, looks thrilled. :) 


My buddies on Christmas Eve. Everyone else was romping around DC.


Annnnndd... our monstrosity of a breakfast Christmas morning. It actually turned out okay, but it did look scary.


Santa's little helper. Santa's most adorable little helper. 


Santa's elves. Where did he find these guys?


Gabe, aka Hermey, hard at work. I think he actually wants to quit being an elf and study dentistry. 


Dee Andros?


The way way back. Gabe rocked it.


Oakley LOVED having Grandma, Grandpa and Gabe around. She suddenly had three extra people to meow at.


And Gabe. Trying to photobomb. Pretending to fall and actually falling. ahhhhahahahahaha!


It's too bad Peter won't remember his first Christmas cause it was a pretty darn good one.


Thanks for the fun times Harris clan!

I'm thinking a couple of those pictures could be used in the Awkward Family Photo or Picwit game. Not that cute one of Peter at the end. Such a little doll. Thanks for putting on such a fun Christmas, Shahas!
