Kelley Christmas

After Christmas we stayed at a beach house with the Kelley's in Florence. The weather was actually pretty lame, but that didn't stop us.
We spent plenty of time playing with Phil's quad: Kelley boys

Peter
Crystal
Mom and Phil
Dad

We also got in some much needed Dance Dance Revolution: we're pretty awesome

Chorlton Christmas

Christmas with Crystal's family was held on Christmas Eve this year and included all the traditional festivities:

Crystal's brother was able to make it home from long haul truck driving, along with his chihuahua "Chili"...
...she slept almost the whole time.
Crystal's sister was crammed into a box...I don't know why really?
And sister time, I thought we were wearing Santa hats... or wedding veils which also convey the holiday spirit?

Merry Christmas from the Kelley's

Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a good family photo with a dog?

vacation

We took a much needed vacation to Bend for a few days. Wouldn't you know it, just in the Kelley couple vacation tradition we broke down...

But, thanks to Dad we were rescued. Thanks Jessica and Kurtis for hanging out with us while we waited, you guys made the wait go fast.

We arrived at our hotel only 5 hours behind schedule and had a great time. It snowed in Bend while we were there and we got to play a bit, as well as check out the Bend REI for the very first time. I forgot to take many pictures, but here is a family picture from the trip, yes, we stayed at a "pet friendly" hotel, Joei thought it was cool.

baby chris (update)

Hopefully this will be the final update. Chris came home from the hospital today, he went in last Tuesday with a piece of roast beef lodged in his esophagus. Now he is on a liquid diet and yes, he knows to chew REALLY well. He and Scotty are getting in some much needed gaming...Chris may have gone into Halo3 withdrawal over the last week.

Dikki Wedding

Dave and Nikki are official!!!

baby chris

Some of you know Chris, our flat mate, (roommate just sounds weird). Last night we took him to the ER because he had some roast beef lodged in his esophagus. Well in the process of getting the food out a tear developed and he has been stuck in the hospital all last night and probably tonight as well. He is doing fine but is BORED. So if you know him and want to visit he would probably appreciate the love. P.S. be sure to chew your food VERY well and swallow VERY well.

maybe i should become a photographer

done, done and done...

Crystal had her last final today...hopefully her last final EVER!!!
Now she is resigned to grading those papers. go baby go (maybe she will be more fun during Christmas break)!
