We had our usual early morning stockings and presents with the 2 youngsters. Jesse came by and hung out with us for a while. Then we all enjoyed fresh Halibut and Sweet Potato fries for dinner (the Halibut was from my nephew Garet, who caught and brought it home from Alaska).

22nd Annual Family Cookie Exchange

This wonderful tradition was started by Cheryl, Nikki, and Norman 22 years ago. It then grew to Cheryl, Nikki, Norman, Alyson, Ashley & Garet. After that the entire family joined in and it grew from there. This year was hosted by Lance & Reba at their wonderful home on Camano Island! They outdid themselves with festive decorations, wonderful food, and tasty beverages. A good time was had by all!!!
