The (Very Prolific) Russon Family Reunion

More Russon's than you can shake a stick at...after this was over we all felt like whacking each other with sticks, not just shaking them! Dad had to be coached through how to make his camera take pictures with the timer, "all this new fangled gadgetry!"

It's all fun and games...

Christmas morning

Once again Santa somehow found us at Grandma and Grandpa's house, not sure the old guy can continue to do that for much longer!

Doing time (Christmas time that is)

The warden is carefully explaining to the new group of inmates why the typical orange jumpsuit has been exchanged for red pajamas. Shortly after the picture was taken, a riot occured and none of the food survived the altercation. All were promptly remanded to their cell blocks until Warden Santa could decide if they were naughty, or nice.

Storm Watch 2008

It may not look like much in these shots (especially to those of you in snowier climes) but this was just the beginning. By the time the storms finished a week or 2 later, there was over 2 feet of the white stuff at our house. That's a lot by any standards, but for Seattle, that's ginormus! It pretty much shut the state down for several weeks. School was canceled for 3 days, church was canceled for 2 weeks straight (all you Utahns can be jealous of that!) and everything just ground to a halt. It was pretty while it lasted though.
