Though Clark couldn't travel to Pasco with me due to his work schedule that he currently has no control over (can't wait until February!), and even though I lost the majority of my wonderful photos due to a faulty SD card, I had a fantastic trip back to Pasco! It's amazing how fast eight days flies on by. Here's a taste of my last two days in Pasco, with the exception of the first two photos which were taken on my point and shoot's internal memory.
This photo is from they day we went up to the mountains for some sledding action. This was taken right after my SD card died, after I had taken some ridiculously awesome photos. Not a very convenient time for my SD card to stop working! The views on our snowmobile ride were seriously breathtaking. I'm still sad about my lost photos, if you can't tell...
The other internal memory photo. Katie and Teya outside the cabin, having some sledding fun.
Dagmara's works of art. Her cookies are not only unbelievably delicious, but they look like they should be placed in a gold plated frame or shadow box.
This is all her, no formal training whatsoever.
My Dad took us down to the river so we could take a walk on the sand dunes.
The boat ride was a little chilly. Can you see my earmuffs?! I finally found the
perfect earmuffs at JC Penney for 5 dolla. Thanks to my madre who had a 10 dollar off coupon. I absolutely love my earmuffs. They rock my world and keep my ears toasty warm.
Gorgeous scenery.
I just Love my Dad. He's such a cool guy and I'm proud to be his daughter.
My parent's Christmas tree on Pseudo Christmas (Dec. 23rd, the night before I flew home). I had really hoped they would adorn the tree with their fishing lures, like they've done in years past. The lures look so dang cool. Maybe next year?
Chase cheesing it for the camera.
Cole and Chase seriously concentrating on their "playing" tasks.
Teya in her SUPER TEYA Halloween outfit. Katie dressed her up just so Scott, Dagmara and myself would know what we missed out on during Halloween.
I just want to pinch those sweet, cheesy cheeks!
Proud Aunts Rachel and Dagmara.

Later in the evening, Katie dressed Teya in one of her several holiday dresses. Little girl clothing is just so darn cute!
This year we were presented with "grab bag" style gifts. It was awesome. Best type of gifts are the eclectic gifts that you can barter with your siblings.
Cole perched upon Tyson, watching TV.
Teya found herself a ride...
And a camera!
Me and Katie. Not our best effort, nor our best photo. What is up with our faces? And the UW sweatshirt strikes again! Never shall it die!

I was so excited to find out that my oldest brother Cedar would be driving in on the night of the 23rd! I didn't think I would get to see him since I had an extremely early flight on the 24th and he told me he couldn't drive to Pasco until later in the day on Christmas Eve. I was sooooooooo happy and pleased he was able to show up the 23rd! I got to see him for a couple of hours, which is better than not at all!
My visit to Pasco flew by, but I am so thankful for the time I got to spend with my wonderful family. I love you all very much! Looking forward to my next visit home, which will be....several months down the road!
