Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas, filled with family & friends, fun, and food. The morning started with stockings here at our house. Cole loved unpacking his, which was full of wooden food (for his kitchen drawer), toys, musical instruments, and books.

Maracas, a fast favorite.

A kazoo (which I think Cory may have bought as much for himself as for Cole).

Bongos from Brad, Mercedes & the girls.

OSU Beaver football

A wooden truck that I found at the Arts Center, made by a local woodworker. And a few books and CDs.


Then we headed back over to Lebanon for breakfast with the Badgers, where Cole opened a few more presents, including an awesome basketball hoop from Grandma and Grandpa.







Back in Corvallis, we enjoyed a late lunch with the Klinkhammers. Delicious potato chowder, freshly baked bread, and another round of opening gifts. I didn't take any photos, for some reason, but here are a couple post-Christmas day shots of Cole enjoying a couple of the gifts -- a BOB stroller (LOVE it) and this fun OSU Beaver tackling guy.


We ended our day at the Sahnows house, for dinner and drinks with good friends. The perfect Christmas celebration!
