Christmas Break in Sunriver

I am going to worry less about the fact that I am writing this in August and focus on the fact that I want this week captured in my "journal" no matter how late!  It was truly a magical week in Sunriver after Christmas.  We had a massive snowstorm that gave us inches upon inches of fluffy snow to play and sled in.  Why do even ordinary outings turn into amazing adventures under a blanket of white? Jake was absolutely in heaven and he looked so adorable in his little snow bibs.  We went to the golf course to find a sledding hill in an absolute white out, even with Bo at 4 months old.  We were either really brave or incredibly stupid!  Either way, it was a lot of fun and just the beginning of our adventures in the snow! We were so lucky for this winter wonderland in an otherwise incredibly dry year in the mountains, I'm not sure if we can ever top it!

2013 Holiday Season & Sunriver

Writing about the Holiday season in May seems a little silly, but we had so much fun and there were so many great pictures I wanted to be sure I captured it.  Instead of writing a long story of all of our adventures I used the picture captions below.  There are two parts to our "Christmas Break", first in Portland for the Christmas holiday and then in Sunriver through New Years.  In just 6 months I'll be writing about this again!

Brian and I spent our first night away, we went downtown for great date night; dinner, drinks, and brunch the next day. I believe we also made #2, but thats a story for a different day and not the internet. :)

So Jakey got a great night and morning with Grammy and Grampy who stayed at our house.  He had a wagon ride to Starbucks and even got coffee cake!

The annual "Burnham Family Christmas Tree Hunt" - Brian loves this day, as you can see here.

Trying to get a Christmas Card picture. I loved it because I thought he still looked like a baby, but Brian thought he looked like a miniature Chris Farleigh. 

Trip to see Santa at the downtown Macy's. 

My old sweatshirt and some thighs to die for. 

Pre-Christmas Eve at Antie Tu Tu's and Uncle Carl's

Christmas Eve day, a quick surprise trip to Grammy and Grampy's in his festive clothes

Christmas Day, morning with the Burnhams, evening with the Lanters, a lovely holiday with one spoiled kid.
