Merry Christmas, everyone! We had Christmas at Uncle Kyle and Aunt Marcia's in Tigard, Oregon. Tons of cookie decorating, ballerinas, and fun.

This is Scout and her little sister Sophie. Hayden and his new partner Sarah welcomed little Soph into the world almost a year ago, and Scoutie loves being a big sister!

Birthdays all around! Scout and Piper's birthdays fall within a day of each other (12/2 and 11/30 respectively), so there are lots of presents, parties and cakes. Happy Birthday, girls! That's Scout's little sister Sophie in the bottom picture, being fed by everyone at the party..

Scoutie and Seth LOVE ice skating!

Another rainy day...time for face paint! Kellen takes it on...

Scout was Wonder Woman this year for Halloween...well, Wonder Woman with a turtleneck, that is...Note the swinging "lassrope" that never left her side.

Here's another one from the archives, some of you have seen this one: A surprise Father's Day gift, where we snuck outside and snapped an "old fashioned" shot by the gate at our house...With the exception of the light saber that Seth is carrying, it's pretty Olde Tymey!

There's a punk kid's clothing store up the street, Pop Tots, that needed some models last year for their grand opening. We were given a bunch of clothes to try on, and I told the kids to look really bratty...they're in the paper all the time!

Here are some pictures taken last summer at Volunteer Park by Aunt Poppy...
