Oregon, in the winter.

Holidays in Eugene, 2009

Yes, I'm super lazy. Yes, these are super old. But, I was going through my photos today, and realized I never did anything with the photos I took over the holidays last year. So, two new batches of old photos are coming your way.

X-mas eve, we went to the holiday market with family friends. Anandum is and old friend of Ravi's, and in recent years, neighbor too. His kids - Tap, Nitya, Tarun and Neet are all amazing people.




The whole crew, at Tom's wood working workshop




Afterwards, X-mas eve dinner at Govindas. That's Erik, Tap, Nitya, Michele, and Anandum going counter clockwise around the table. Where is Asha?

Asha, crouched over her Christmas presents. I think she's about to hatch a few more.

Erik's Box!

Sooooooo cute.



Time to go home already! So sad. It's a good thing we had a lovely train station to wait in.

Thanksgiving

We spent thanksgiving in Eugene with Jess, and stayed with her family. I adore Kit and Marylyn, they have always been so welcoming. And they're house is lovely! Cute interesting things everywhere. I always love checking out their new additions.




Kitty slept outside the studio, in a heated kitty bed, watching the squirrels and birds. it was so damn cute.

And the morning light was lovely


We went to the holiday market, and winter farmers market.

There was an origami quilt, I really want to try. The technique has it's own special name, that I forget. But it is Japanese, and it does involve folding things...


I ran into so many people I knew, it was good to catch up with everyone. Here is Jess and Ren (we brought Jess with us)
