Reuland NYE 2019

The rest of us went to our favorite NYE spot - Manzanita. We didn't get to do our annual hike -- weather was weird and it felt wrong without Frances, but we did lots of hiking, golfing, and napping. After an intense work load this year, it was REALLY nice to sleep lots, relax lots, and get time with the kids and Mark.

Frances NYE 2019

Frances got an INSANE present. My parents took her to the Rose Bowl to see Oregon play. Hello!!!! She had so much fun. She got to go San Diego...see the SD cousins....go to Pasadena...see the Pasadena cousins...and see one of the best Rose Bowl games ever. Amazing end to 2019 and start to 2020 for such an amazing kid.

Portland Adventures with the Rutenbergs

In Portland we did an adventure day. Katie and Brian and my parents and Maggie went to Powells and ate at fun restaurants and shopped....and I took the other kids for a long bike ride on the Nike bikes. So fun. 

#ExperiencesNotPresents

This year we decided to go to Wine Country.....EXPERIENCES.....for an night with Katie and Brian and their family and their parents. The boys..plus Frances...went golfing...and I took the rest wine tasting...and then we went to the Alison Inn. SO. MUCH. Fun. We checked out the latest time possible we had so much fun. My sister and I did a "tri-atholon" of a run around town, bike in the gym, and swim in the pool. BLISS.

Christmas 2019

We had a blessed and FULL Xmas. We woke up, opened presents, had a wonderful breakfast, did hikes with each kid and Mac, I got to go for a RUN with Frances (yes!!) and then had dinner with my parents. Our cups runneth over. And then the Rutenberg Family arrived. YES!

Xmas Eve 2019

We spent Xmas Eve with our parents plus our peeps. 

It is one of my favorite nights of the year.

 I love my people and I love this tradition.

Hood River 2019

One of my FAVORITE traditions that we are now a couple of years in to -- Hood River weekend with the kids for Brookie's bday and while the boys are in Bandon. I love the time with my BFF in my best place at the Best Western. Holla.

Bandon

Mark and Henry made their annual voyage to Henry's golf tournament in Bandon. Despite MONSOON rain, they seemed to love it. I love their tradition and how happy it makes them.
