Read Family Christmas

The Read family "Christmas" was yesterday at our house - the family is scattering over the holidays, so we celebrated a little early. Here are some shots to share our day:

Christmas Gift Suggestions

To your enemy, forgiveness.
To an opponent, tolerance.
To a friend, your heart.
To a customer, service.
To all, charity.
To every child, a good example.
To yourself, respect.

Thanksgiving in Oroville

We spent Thankgiving in Oroville this year, with my mom, Lynsey, Cody & Charlee, and our friends the Kindreds (unfortunately Katrina had to work!). The girls loved playing with the living doll - Charlee! Here are a few shots of them together! A special picture of them with Great Grandma Lucy too!





Johanna had a birthday!

Yep, she's seven. Hello Kitty was the theme this year. I redecorated Johanna's room this year as a surprise for her birthday. She likes the updated, more grown up look!

This is the new bedding - new coordinating wallpaper border, curtains, and wall art complete the look!
Oops, the flash was off, so a little dark here. Don't ya hate that!?

Palm Desert

We're just back from Palm Desert - spent a very wonderful 5 days there, enjoying glorious sunshine - something a bit rare in NW Washington at this time of year. We had great weather, between 86 and 95 - perfect! I've found it's faster to throw my pictures into a Smilebox slideshow than upload them here, so that's what I've done with some of our vacation photos! I highly recommend the Marriott Shadow Ridge, if you have plans to visit Palm Springs/Palm Desert in the future!

Family pictures

We recently had some family pictures taken at a local park and I am experimenting with using Smilebox to show some of them. They are low resolution for "a better web experience" but hope you get an idea!

The most recent picture...too cute!

A couple fall cuties!

Snapped a couple pictures of the girls this beautiful fall afternoon:


Back at UPS for the weekend

We spent a couple days in Tacoma at the University of Puget Sound, taking in Homecoming and the 75th anniversary of the Adelphian Choir, of which Rob was a part during his college days. Voices of all ages made for wonderful harmony! The campus is beautiful - especially in the fall with wonderful colors.



The moments, the days, the joys of Rob, Christina, Natalia & Johanna
