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. 
















































Fall Fun With Her Troop

Esperanza has had a lot of good times this fall with her girl scout troop. They have painted rocks and hid them, had a holiday gift exchange and ornament making, went to GirlFest, caroled at the mall (pictures in another post) and attended several meetings. We look forward to more fun adventures with this group of girls.
