Thanksgiving, Baptism, and a Visit from Michelle

The last couple of weeks have been filled with fun times. We hope to post some photos in the next week or so. Presently the cord that connects our camera to the computer is MIA, so for now we’ll just have to inspire images in your minds.

Thanksgiving in Tulsa

We flew to Tulsa on Thanksgiving, saw some of Chris’s family and then headed to Jeff and Erin’s to rekindle some friendships and play a game of Risk (that Lovelace missed because he didn’t show up until 2am). For the record, Chris won said game. On Friday afternoon we had a delicious Thanksgiving dinner around a beautiful, new table at the Clendenin’s. Lauri brought senior pictures of Ian to share – what a young stud!

Saturday morning we met mom, dad, and Kevin for breakfast at Savoy a little earlier than we were ready for. On Saturday afternoon we went to my parents’ to visit with the family. While we were there, Grandma reminded me that she had given me some dresses that would be perfect for Fiji. Though I didn’t find exactly what I was looking for, I found 4 Hawaiian print shirts for Chris and a dress that matches one of the shirts for me!

On Sunday, we went to Olivia Hunter’s baptism and baptism party at the Hader’s. Then we headed to Meagan and Jason’s to see how big their kids had grown and visit for a few minutes. After three whirlwind days of seeing family and friends we headed to the airport for our 7:15pm flight. We were expected to arrive in Portland, OR at 11:50pm, but were delayed and didn’t arrive until around 1:30am. By the time we got our bags and made it to the train station, and then realized the train was not running, it was 2am and we had no way home. Chris Z. to the rescue! He came to the airport in the middle of the night to pick us up. Thanks Chris!

We finally made it home and were in bed by 3am, which was just in time for me to sleep 3 hours before work on Monday morning.

Michelle’s Visit

One week after Thanksgiving, Michelle (my sister) visited us! Well, she was actually visiting our new baby niece, Olivia Lynn, but we got to spend time with her too! We even got to see her on she and P.J.’s 10th anniversary! Congrats, guys! While Michelle was here, Olivia Lynn went one her first outing to a restaurant- she was so good. We also put up all the Christmas decorations at Chris and Karen’s house, which look fantastic. Again, pictures when possible.

More updates soon.

Nan (and Chris)

  1. hey! thanks for the post on my blog... sorry to miss the get-together with Jeff and Erin. Where will you guys be on Xmas? Cathy and I are already thinking about coming to visit you in Fiji or wherever you happen to be in the Pacific over the next year or two. Hope you're having fun in Oregon!
