Christmas with the Stewarts

We (Alex, Jacob and I) drove to Oregon (15 hours) so we could spend Christmas with my soon to be in laws!  It was a long drive, but the good thing was that most of the drive is beautiful.  There were waterfalls and trains to see and get up our excitement!  Not to mention we listened to Harry Potter on tape.

Oregon is soooo GREEN!  Moss hangs off of the moss that is clinging to the already green trees that also have other plants growing from them.





Puppies!
There were two puppies there, one of theirs and one that there was babysitting one other.  Lots of puppies!

Silver Creek Falls!  Jacob has raged on and on about this place and I have found that it was for good reason.  We went with Jacob's good friend Brandon and had a great time.  It was incredibly gorgeous and we didn't even get to see half of the waterfalls!




It is so beautiful!!!!

 

The Stewarts are big game people.  We spent a lot of the time playing board games, cooperative games, video games, card games, all sorts of games.  This got me thinking that what is cool about joining a new family is that there are a lot of new things to start doing that I never would have done had I not been added to the family.  It is good to have your horizon's broadened and new traditions added. It is going to be a great adventure.
