Holidays

The weather has been cooler, making for some lovely ice formations

and we've been enjoying spectacular sunsets as well here in Central Oregon.

Thanksgiving was a blast, with headdresses, placemats and napkin rings by Stevie,



No pilgrims in our house, my conservative friends will be shocked to discover.


and delicious victuals by Andi and me.



The obligatory Desilets sausage rolls.



Yesterday we watched the Civil War (Go Ducks!) and decorated the house for Christmas,

and last night was the Redmond Starlight Christmas parade.  It wasn't too cold so we had a terrific time watching the floats and the people go by.

Christmas llamas.




Stevie quickly learned that the more you wave, the more candy you have thrown at you.



While we didn't wait around for Santa (these small town parades are loooooong), it was a great time nonetheless, and we returned home happy and tired!

Ted and I are off to Orlando this week for my first visit to DisneyWorld.  Happy holidays, everyone!
