Christmas Update

Seeing as how we sent out our blog to everyone our Christmas card list, I should probably be better about updating! You wouldn't know it, but we've been busy preparing for the holidays! This being my favorite time of year, I wish it could just come to a halt so we could enjoy the season. Of course that can't happen, so instead we have to steal moments of every-day-life to make it feel special. So of course that means the blog and other incidentals fall by the wayside.

To update you all though, here's what we've been up to -

We went as a family to get a Christmas tree with our friends the Jorgenson's in the hills of Snohomish. A family tradition now for 3-4 years running. Hasn't failed to have at least some snow on the ground every year either! We've gone to Sunnyside to celebrate Christmas with Kristofer's grandparents and family. We've began the labor of love that is baking all of the Christmas goodies (more to come this weekend with my Mom and my brother's girlfriend, Megan). Our respective work Christmas parties are coming up. All this mixed in with our normal, busy, life as usual work/family life. I'm proud to say too that our Christmas shopping is complete and wrapped AND within the budget!

So...I'm ready for the season. Ready for the peace, quiet and time with family. Thankful for another year, reminding us of the birth of Christ.

Even Aaden helped put up the airplane, sheep and wagon.
