~* Christmas on Orcas Island 2005 *~

This year we went to Orcas Island to celebrate Christmas with Jason side of the family. It was a very busy trip, and we had a great time seeing everyone. Alivia was the hit of Orcas Island, and of course Grandpa Chuck was quite smitten with our baby girl. (I think she likes him, too...)

Grandma Kare-Bear got to meet Alivia for the first time when she and Chuck opened up thier restaurant Chimayos so that we could eat the best food in the world, and I'm not kidding. I always tell Jason, even if I had just stuffed my face with a huge Thanksgiving dinner, I still would not turn down a meal from Chimayos.

Christmas morning, Andrew woke up first thing and found his "super-fast wagon with two seatbelts and two doors" he has been asking for FOREVER! He was very happy!

This was actually one of Andrew's presents, but Jason likes Charlie Brown so much, I think he might try to steal it....


Alivia got to meet her Great Grandpa Von (Ronni's dad) for the first time. He just held her and held her and she loved every minute of it.

The kids sure are getting big. It kills me to be so far away sometimes. Gabe and Andrews dialogue sounds so similar sometimes. The whole wanting something "forever".
We miss and love you all.

PS. The ride is tight!!!!!

Hi Silva family! I found your blog through Jenna's blog, so good to see pictures of you and your kids, they are getting big! In fact I don't think I have seen your little Alivia yet, she's a doll! You'll have to stop by our site, blessings!
