Happy Christmas!

Here's some fun pictures we've taken of our time here in California! Enjoy, and then I've written a bit more at the bottom! :D


What a horrible torture it is to be kissed!


A nice shot of the barn by Jord


Hehe here's a cute one of my sisters, Katie and Leesie--


My adorable parents. 


Here's some pretty nice ones of us! We're just so happy! :D




The classic silly family picture :D


What a hunky group of men!


Happy girls!




Ha this one is hilarious-- my dad bumped the fence while rushing over from the tripod, and my mom almost fell! If you can't see their faces, click on the picture so you can-- I promise it's worth it :D


Yummy dinner!!!


Well, as you may have guessed, we made it safe to California, (but barely! :) There was a massive snowstorm during our entire drive, and it was pretty dangerous. Luckily, we had a really talented (and handsome, I might add) driver named Jordan, who got us home to the McGregor clan safe and sound! We've been having all kinds of fun, including: Christmas dinner,  classic game of Cranium, movie-thons (including, but not limited to, "It's A Wonderful Life," of course), Christmas traditions (opening one gift on Christmas Eve, new ornaments from all over the world this time, dad's orange rolls, martinelli's, reading Christmas stories), visiting Sacramento and seeing Daw's office, shooting wild peacock pests with Trent's airsoft gun, playing the wii and getting sore (?!) and taking family pictures at the old barn in my parents' back yard!!! Hooray! Have a happy Christmas!!!

Ya Better Watch Out...

Jordan and I are pretty excited about Christmas! We decided to get out and buy our Christmas decor early this week, so we could enjoy our decorations at home before we head down to California in 3 weeks. We bought a mini tree, about 4 1/2 ft. tall, stockings, and put up lights! hoorah!


Our little bebe tree!



We love Christmas!

Some Halloween Fun!

Here's some fun ones from FHE with our BFFs "The Joneses" carving pumpkins...


So so happy with our pumpkins :D.



Oooooh scary!



Here we are, the happy carving couple!



Here's the final products. Ours is a pirate (yarrrr) and the Joneses carved an owl!



Me, apparently singing and meditating over my pumpkin.



Katie being a freaky dinosaur... veloceraptor... creepaholic. Gettin into the halloween spirit.




Kels and Cam, the official carving representatives. Don't mess with the girl with the knife.

*A Lil' Fall 2008*

Well, I've finally decided on a blog I want to keep. In my Technology in Health course we learned how to make our blogs look cute, so I'm pretty pumped! It's a lot easier than I thought it would be :). So here's the update on our life this fall, I'll document it with some entertaining pictures!


Here's a snapshot of our kitchen. On the right is our stove and fridge, on the left is our sink and cabinets. The pretty flowers are from Jordan earlier this week, because I had a hard day. He's a keeper!



Our bedroom! Cute lamps and pretty frame compliments of my sweet grandparents!



Here's our teeny weeny itsy bitsy green and striped bathroom. love it!



Here's a shot of our living room, looking in from the kitchen doorway. That's the front window. You can see part of our lime green dream, which includes: a coffee table, ottomans, and 7-ft. couch! Compliments of Jord's grandparents!



Here's another shot of our kitchen. It's a bit busy... we made caramel popcorn last night! So that's the reason for the multiple bowls laying around... :).



Here's one of Jord trying to move one of our dressers into the closet (it's a tiny room, so even though the closet it also tiny, it was worth it for the space!)



And here's one of me, trying to help him, but not squish him!



Here's one of Mogli... I mean Jord... who scaled our tree and used a little tiny baby saw from his ghetto tool kit to rid our tree of some of its very low-hanging and unhealthy branches. In case you can't tell, he's like 15 feet off the ground. He's such a stud! Who does that?!? I was laughing SO hard :).
