This past Christmas we all agreed to forgo major gift giving and focus on a family activity. So the search was on for what we could all do together before Jan 6 (Dustin was leaving to go back to school in New Hampshire). Idea's of snowshoeing, skiing, and Oregon Coast winter storms flew around, but we settled on time together at a friends cabin for 2 nights. The cabin was great, only 30 min away from home, and we could take our 2 mini-dachshunds (Raphael and Jordan River).
We feasted on BBQ steak, baked potatoes with the works and ceaser salad, and of course snacks.
In between everything we went for two walks, one on the beach, one along the creek. Anna (our daughter-in-law) learned how to skip rocks for the first time.
Most of the night we played a fun, fast paced version of scrabble called "Take 2".
The 2nd night Rene and I had the cabin to ourselves (plus dogs). We went for more walks(in the rain), spent time reading, and experimenting with our camera's.

This clock was eternally set at 7:52 , we kept forgetting it didn't work.

I think that's a great idea for celebrating Christmas! I was surprised there was no snow in your pictures. Congratulations for being creative with this Blog idea, and actually following through with it.
Good going, Leenda. This is way more creative than my "all-words" blog.
