Fall/Winter Houses

Armando has 2 houses in Washougal and 4 houses in Camas under construction. All were started this past fall (October/November) and are coming along. Being in Vancouver, the kids and I don't see the progress very often. Occasionally we pass them on our way to gymnastics. I haven't had the chance to go inside of the Camas ones yet, but have been in the Washougal ones. Isis and I walked along the river where the Washougal houses have the private access.  Here are a few pictures of the progress from this past week on all 6 houses.

Christmas At The Valencia House - 2017

The community center in Camas accommodates us best, but alas, we hosted Christmas this year and squeezed everyone into our new house. It was the usual awesomeness, along with extras. Santa came, we had a fun white elephant gift exchange for the adults, the kids unwrapped a plastic wrap ball full of surprises, there were a few new baby Valencia's with us this year and there was tons of food, drinks and deserts. My sister, 2 of her kids and 3 of her dogs came up from Eugene and joined us as well. It was a very Merry Christmas.

Lights At The Zoo

The kids and Armando met Eva and a bunch of other family at the zoo for their annual Zoolights display. I decided to stay home and use the alone time to catch up on gift wrapping and other chores. Here are some pictures Eva shared with me. It looks like they had a blast!

Wrapping Presents

The kids had a ton of fun and were a huge help with wrapping Christmas presents this year.
