Christmas and New Year's 2010









Here's just a few pictures of our Chester, CA, Christmas and New Year's Adventure with Uncle Doug and Aunt Shelley.  We had a great time on the Amtrak train...a new experience to travel by train.  We arrived in Sacramento early Wednesday morning before Christmas.  Doug and Shelley drove us up the mountain to their home in the snowy woods.  Of course, on the way, we had to stop at Target :) .  There's more to share about our trip, but for now, know that we went to Christmas Eve service at a tiny Wesleyan Church (Shelley was their substitute pianist for the service).  There was a snow fort built, and thanks to a power outage on Christmas night (about 15 minutes after we sat down for dinner), the snow fort became an outdoor refrigerator.  I never thought on a Christmas night that I would be getting in the truck with my brother so that he could drive me to his office at the hospital so that I could use my breast pump during the power outage.  (I'm pleased to report that while at his office, I discovered the battery pack for my breast pump.)
Santa was good to Ethan and to all of us, well, except maybe Troy who got the flu on Christmas Eve and kept it until about New Year's Eve.
