The First Movie of Christmas

Gwen woke up this morning at 6:30 (she usually wakes up about 8 am). Jeff did not even have to get up that early for work and considering his schedule it was more then slightly unfortunate.

Anyway by 8 am I decided the only thing to do was turn on the Polar Express! Christmas movie cheating I know.

Yoda lives!

This was Max's costume 2 years ago. We were invited to a Star Wars themed birthday so I had to bust it out.

Pumkin Patch

I was not actually there but the pictures are adorable!

Max's School Halloween

Max was a little nervous about the whole everyone in weird costume thing but overall enjoyed it!

One of the few pictures of Max actually wearing the checkered cap!

Max loved the cake walk. He did it so much he won twice!

They had a local farm bring animals: donkey, goats, pigs and a chicken.

Max trying to catch a pig.

Max lookin' pretty cute

Halloween!

I know everyone has been wondering what the Kanick/Bridges crew was for Haloween. Well here we are!

Mom and I were Sherwood Forest, Dad was Robin Hood and Jeff was Little John. For some reason Sonja did not want to be Maid Marion, no idea why!

Max was the Peddler from the book "Caps for Sale" and Gwen was the monkey (they steal the caps).

We did the traditional trip to Stabucks

 

Fircrest Trunk or Treat (notice the decked out van!)

Otter Crest: The Beach!

Truth be told the beach is one of my favorite

parts of "The Beach". There is so much to do!

Jeff packing up or down from the beach.

Otter Crest: Tillamook

This is a post about Otter Crest but is is actually about when we left to go to Tillamook.

A group of us (headed by Jeff) ventured off to the Tillamook Air Mueseum and the Tillamook Cheese Factory. The just both happen to be in Tillamook, they are not related.

Here is James and his son Xander in one of the practice cockpits. For Max this was one of the best parts as they had a lot of button and switches to play with.

 

 

Here is Max

 

At the Cheese Factory you basically get to taste cheese, buy ice-cream and get put off into a huge souvenir shop.

Jeff as a cow farmer and Max as a cow.

 

Quinten the farmer, James as a farmer holder and Xander the cow

There really were more of us but they did not want their picture as a cow or farmer, I cannot imagine why.
