Spent a few days with the entire Wallin family in Tahoe.

Just a few photos from after Christmas.
Another exciting Christmas at the Greer household. The kids got more than they needed (so did everyone else). The kids have been busy all day playing with all the new toys.
We went out in the pouring rain on Sunday to walk through the mud (Katy in shorts, flip flops, and a short sleeved shirt) and cut down our Christmas tree. After we let it dry out enough, we trimmed it last night. (The kids and Elizabeth did, I just took pictures.)
Notice Katy is in almost every picture. She wouldn’t let me take a picture without her in it.
We travelled back to Mississippi for turkey day again this year. It was great seeing my family. My cousin and uncle showed up. The kids had a great time playing with their cousins (we don’t get to do this enough). Caught up with old friends and all in all had a great time. I even was able to get the whole family groped by the TSA. Lots of the pictures are of my first cousin once removed, I let his mom borrow my camera and she got a lot of good shots.
Day 1 of our trip around the Northwest. We stopped in Ashland. Elizabeth and Margaret and Sam are right now at a Shakespeare play in the Elizabethan Theatre. I am back in the hotel sleeping and getting the website up to date. Ashland is a nice little town. Seems full of retirees, people with dreadlocks and no shirts, and people from California.
UPDATE: They got home about 11:30 last night from the play. Apparently, Sam made it until about 10:30, then he was completely out. He didn’t move when the pedi-cab guy carried him to the door.
Another year another day at Maker Faire. Again, it was more than we could see and do in a day. We launched rockets, rode some strange 2-wheeled contraption, did some silk screening, and a bunch else.
Sam had the ceremony that promoted him from a Wolf to a Bear. He has now earned his Wolf badges and will be a Bear next year. The ceremony was fun. Each older set of boys helped the next younger set change their scarf and hat to be ready for the start of next year.
We finally had the party we decided to have when Elizabeth was originally diagnosed with a brain tumor. Luckily, we were able to have the “Pokie’s Not Dead Party” instead of the other one. We had about 200 people over to the house. They made T-shirts that Elizabeth designed, bounced in the bouncy house, drank Karl’s now infamous 1-2-3 margarita’s, and all in all had a good time. We had good friends come and stay with us and help with the party for the weekend.
There are also a few pictures other people took here.
The last weekend for us for skiing in 2010. The kids have gotten a lot better this year. A couple of pictures here.
