Christmas 2011

Nick and I went to Yakima for Christmas with the Crawfords. We went to Grandma's house on Christmas Eve for dinner and some present opening. Then we spend Christmas morning at the house with Harry, Diane, Chad, and Jackie. Afterwards, it was back to Grandma's for Christmas dinner. Another great year!

Harry's Birthday

We celebrated Harry's birthday bash at the Nob Hill bowling alley - bowling for dollars. It was a blast!

Birthday Boy!

Here's Diane... I don't think she liked this one.

Here's Nick... who lost to Jamie by the way!

Did I mention that I beat Nick?

Nicolai having fun!

Diane... Missed it by that much!

Good form there Harry!

Strike for Diane on a money shot!

Nick is chosen to take a shot for $135. No pressure!

Have to get a strike with everyone stopped and watching.

Missed it by one pin! Dang...

Another money strike for Diane! Yesssssss....

Show me the money!

Is Grandma Crawford eyeing Diane's cash?

See Harry... Check out that score!

Thanksgiving in Yakima

We traveled to Yakima to spend Thanksgiving with the Crawford's. Harry and Diane hosted at their house. Chad and his fiance Jackie were there as well. We also had a new addition to the family there. Pictures below:
