HO.........HO..........HO

OK.  Christmas week is finished in Portland.  We started on Tuesday with a visit from Helia who arrived at PDX at noon and ended tonight a short time ago.

Tuesday, we hosted Brian, Carolyn, Rachael and Chris plus Helia for a Christmas dinner.  Roger and I spent most of the day in the kitchen but it was worth the effort just being with family and enjoying good food. 

We were alone for Christmas while the rest of the clan went to Mt Hood to do some skiing and everyone returned this morning for a buffet brunch and exchange of presents.

Are we tired?  Oh, yes...........

Helia is at the airport and she is flying back to S.F. in a few minutes and we have finally cleared all the dishes and glassware so they are back in their places. 

Now............ time to relax and share the happy memories of the holidays.

Roger's favorite cologne is Armani Code so that's why he has a big smile on his face.

The second picture is Aaron (Roger's grandson who is also an accomplished artist), Carolyn (Brian's wife) and Chris, also Roger's grandson.

Bella had a great time unwrapping her two presents and last night she slept with the toy that she opened yesterday when Roger and I exchanged gifts.

Now it's time to think about the coming year and also to ponder our many blessings during 2014.
