Carolyn & Jesse visited on Christmas eve morning to deliver gifts & to take our annual tree hugging photo.
The boys each received super cool hats! Finn's is a monster.
Cedar's is an owl. We decided the owl hat was too small for Cedar, so we saved it for Carolyn & Jesse's baby-on-the-way. They traded it out for a cool lion hat a few days later. :)
Kenton & I received a homemade piece of art - the state of Oregon cut out of wood with "I <3 Eugene" painted where Eugene would be. We love it...just forgot to get a photo.
Thanks friends! You're the best!
Annual tradition.
Without flash.
It looks like the top of our tree is leaning. Maybe it is, at least from this angle. Oh, well. :P
With flash.
For more tree hugging related blog posts, see here, here, & here. The sad thing is that I was searching all over for the 2007 (the year I started blogging) tree hugging photo. It doesn't exist because Carolyn & Jesse were in Azerbaijan that year. Silly me. :P
This year, I came across the original (I believe) tree hugging photo. It isn't dated, but I think it's from Christmas of 1997! (Carolyn, correct me if I'm wrong.) :) I framed it & now have it displayed on our family room wall. It's amazing how meaningful a silly photo we took in high school has become. :)
