Week 52 - Oregon City, December 25 - December 31 , 2023

Christmas Day - we got up early and tried to visit all of our children to watch the grandchildren open their gifts.

Here is Bev's family

And Jessica's

Our cat family and their wrapped toys

Somehow we missed photos of the other families.

We had the Secret Santa gift exchange the evening of Christmas.  Dad got a new toaster (from Paul....Paul actually gave Dad a gift of service too....helped him put in new fence posts for the grapes) which will actually toast pieces of bread.

Whitney gave me some exercise pods to work on my balance.

Here's a couple of random photos on Christmas Day

Copeland pretending he is a cat in our cat tree.

Games on Christmas day

Tuesday - the day after Christmas - party time was over....time to get the cottage fixed up and Malcolm and Haley moved.

Ann was helping move "pantry things".

Whitney painted trim until she was DONE WITH THE TRIM!

I painted the kitchen and dining area and bathroom with the paint named "Dolphin Fin".  I especially liked the little cupboard in the bathroom.

Saturday - like it or not...this was moving day.  Haley and Malcolm would sleep in the cottage for the first time on December 30, 2023.  (BTW - Dad's toaster came in that box).

The BED

Copeland's cupcakes to celebrate his birthday

Sunday - New Year's Eve Day. - December 31, 2023

 This was the best photo (out of many...) that Magnus took of him and Jack in the hot tub.

Enchiladas and sopapillas to greet the new year

And the siblings being goofy

The year 2023 was the best of times!
