Christmas in Oregon

We had a wonderful Christmas with our families in Oregon. It works out perfect to spend the morning at Brandon's house since they wake up earlier than my family and then the afternoon at my house. We are very blessed to be able to spend Christmas with both families. We then had an early dinner at Brandon's and a later dinner with my family so we got plenty to eat as well! Here are some pictures from our wonderful day.

Both of my grandma's

I love the new digital camera that I got and had so much fun playing with the neat features:

Brandon also had fun playing with one of his new presents, Guitar Hero. He continues to have fun playing with it here...yesterday, he played for a couple of hours and is now very good at it. We all took turns playing it since my brother also got one for Christmas. It is a lot of fun and the video down below of Brandon and his mom playing is hilarious since Brandon is very serious about it and his mom is just having fun!

I love the video! It looks like you had a fabulous Christmas! It's so nice when your families live close enough to conveniently celebrate Christmas with both...I miss that!

I love the new camera features! So cool, I can't wait to see it. Also, I love how it was wrapped like a tennis racket. I keep hearing about this guitar hero so I will have to see you guys play.
