Kent and I flew to Oregon to spend a long weekend with our parents.
Adri flew up from Texas to join us, but mostly came to see her grandparents.
Mom Carson had been in a rehab center over Christmas and Kent brought her home for the day.
The Christmas presents had been saved for her and she opened them while Kent was there.
Meanwhile, over in Oregon, my sister, Jill, also came from Boston to visit. Mom and Dad were happy to have so much company.
Mom got it into her head that she wanted to make some teddy bears for the great grandchildren.
She was the brains of the operation and Adri, Jill and I were her work crew.
Mom had part of the teddy bears cut out, so we worked together to get three finished.
I did the sewing and everyone else did the cutting, ironing, pinning, and stuffing.
Mom was so pleased with our efforts that she took a teddy bear down to the dining room to show off our project.
Here we are with the mostly completed teddy bears. (they still needed some hand sewing.) There was a pink one for Sylvia Carson, another pink one for Alexa Carson, and the blue one was for Carson Lee.
We had Sunday dinner over at Reed and Myra's house, and took a picture of the original Christensen family, minus Brett and Gates.
As we were driving through Portland on our way to Kent's mom's house, we had a spectacular view of Mount St. Helen's off in the distance.
Further down the road we had this awesome view of Mount Hood. I sure do love those mountains out in the West!! It was a quick visit, but we were glad to spend time with our parents, siblings, and Adrianne.
