Christmas Morning Video 2015

I read on a blog before Christmas that one idea to get pics of the entire present opening time is to set the camera up on a timer and just go for it. Of course this means I don't actually have pics of the kids opening presents in the usual style with detail, and of course this flip video is not the coloring I would have liked, not edited photos, but at the end of the day I love these 300 pictures I was able to capture of the girls Christmas morning. Maybe next year I'll have the tripod set up and a second camera for my usual style... or at least change the settings on the camera ahead of time rather than set it up the night before at almost 11 PM. Oh well.

One of my co-workers father in law lives out of state and thinks that because he lives here he must be a Duck fan... he's not. So we got the jersey he got for his 1 year old grandson. :o)

Annual Pumpkins w/ The Manson's

Every year since we get together with our awesome friends and go to get pumpkins. We usually go to The Pumpkin Patch on Sauvie's Island. This year however the idea was to go somewhere close on the south side and then head to the Annual Pumpkin Regatta in Tualatin. We went to the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival Pumpkin Festival. We won't be doing that again. They had some activities for the kids, and we got lunch (huge portions) but they were lacking in one thing... PUMPKINS! There is a picture below of what they consider a pumpkin patch... sad. The kids were happy however to ride the cow train, and go for a hayride. We did end up coming home with pumpkins... mostly taken from the tractor, activity area, and tables. Lol. Goodness. We planned on hitting up another patch at some point during the month but between weather and illnesses it didn't happen. Oh well. Next year.

She actually wanted to do the big slide.

The slide kind of sucked, all bumpy and you had to work at it.

We did get to shoot paintballs. That was fun.
