Happy New Year!

We did our 6th annual scavenger hunt this year. The scavenger hunt is a tradition oscar started in college, and usually, as the administrator, has not been able to participate in it. But we scaled down bring in 2008 with a much smaller group, Guys vs. Girls. The girls won by a long shot. Our teammates were Don and Sarah Jenkins and Jeremy and Tauni Farrell.

I don't really have any of the guys scavenger hunt pictures because they used a phone.

Christmas Festivities

We had a great holiday break. Troy was home from Florida, and we got to see lots of people we hardly see anymore... Starting with my Aunt Kay and Adriane, and Eric. Adriane is a star runner at Santa Clara University. She recently set a school record in the 6K!




We spent Christmas day with my family and then later joined the Ekstrom family for Christmas Day dinner. Yummy! Shelley even had a craft project for us after dinner- making Christmas balls.


We went to Sutherlin for Christmas Eve with Oscar's family. Troy even came with us. We left the day after he got in from Florida, and apparently his body hadn't adjusted to the time change because he slept in a chair most of the night-- while all the festivities were going on. Our niece, Celine, is playing a Christmas song on her flute and you can see Troy sleeping in the background.
