Christmas 2020

Picking our tree out at Augie's Tree farm.

She really enjoyed chewing on the tree skirt.

Long Christmas Eve covid lines at Thriftway. 

Enjoying a cocoa bomb.

When Avery was little he wanted a transformer.  He didn't ask until much too late and we couldn't find one last minute.  We were able to find a Bumblebee Transformer mask and so that was what he got.  He didn't tell me until this year that he had been disappointed and realized Santa was probably not real.  To make up for it, Santa left him a transformer with a note telling him it was lost in his shop all those years ago and he found it this year.

Christmas morning aftermath.

Alia got a1,000 dominoes and we built a long run.

Christmas Dinner:  Cornish Hen, twice baked potatoes, stuffing, kimchi, asparagus, pomegranates and cheesecake.

 We always look forward to getting Grandma Davis's Christmas bread.

Thanksgiving at Cape Disapointment State Park

We were able to find a last minute site in the State Park to go camping in the rv.  It is a beautiful state park with miles of beach, 2 lighthouses, a fort and trails.  The first day we visited the beach it was covered in foam.  Some of the foam stacks were bigger than Luna and we were afraid we would lose her in the foam.

 

Luna and Maia loved running free on the beach.

Fort Canby is there and you can visit some of the buildings. 

This lighthouse is the oldest functioning lighthouse on the West Coast.

There is a Jetty here where the Columbia river meets the ocean.  The full rock wall is a mile and a half.  We were able to walk all the way out. 

The Discovery Trail runs through Long Beach.  We had fun biking the trail along the water.

 

Luna loved digging holes.

 

Avery dug her a huge circle trench that she would run around.

Climbing rocks with my mountain goat, Maia.

There were some cool mushrooms in the park.

Meet Luna

 The kids have been asking for another dog for a few years.  On Sunday I told Alia she could finally have one but I gave her certain criteria.  She got to work looking for the perfect puppy for our family.  Once she found the perfect puppy she emailed the people and we set up a time to meet the puppy.  Luna is a chipoo which is half chihuahua and half miniature poodle.  She was born on September 19th.
