Santa Letter

Eva is writing her letter to Santa and I just commented that she may want to write smaller so that she can fit it all on one page. Her response, "Well mom, Santa has glasses so I need to write REALLY BIG!"

Hot Buttered Run

My mom, Anne and I ran the Hot Buttered Run again this year. It's a fun, festive race. We all ran really FAST!

This is Love

Scott donated blood for me today. I owe multiple pints of blood and plasma to the blood bank after my ICU stay in 2010. I've wanted to repay it but Scott recently told me he would do it for me. Yeah Scott! Feeling loved!

The Best Thanksgiving

We had the best Thanksgiving this year. We deviated from family tradition and hosted Thanksgiving at our house in Camas for 15 family and friends (mostly my family). It felt so good to have my family at our house and wow did they help a lot. It made cooking for 15 seem like a piece of cake.

My mom and Hannah (my oldest niece) stayed the weekend with us until Sunday so that my mom and I could run the Hot Buttered Run in Vancouver. We had a very fun stay-cation weekend enjoying the holiday festivities in Portland. I loved, loved, loved having my mom and Hannah here.
