We had a wonderful Christmas! Chris, and Julie, jon and their family stayed the night Christmas Eve so we had a great time! The kids were so fun! Their excitement made it more exciting for all of us! They were so cute. Tag helped everyone open gifts! So adorable!
We did have a White Christmas, which doesn't happen very often here in Oregon. So it was fun, but we had to cancel every Christmas party because of the weather. Which was a bummer! We still had fun, but missed seeing all the family!

Snow!

View from our front window. None of us wanted to go outside to take pics.. too cold and windy!

View of the back yard from the deck. So pretty all covered in snow! :o)
Us playing Monopoly! (Mom won!) We played 2 other games as well, Settlers (Denny won!) and Clue (Dad won!). It was my parents, Denny and me. Denny later played FRIENDS 'Scene It' with me. We did 2 short games, each won one. :o) Poor guy... I make him watch friends with me.. Love ya babe! :o)
This may shock those who are not an Oregonian... It snowed probably about 2 inches. Church was canceled, so we stayed home and played games, and relaxed. (When I was a Freshman, maybe a Sophmore it snowed a half an inch and school was canceled, we always looked forward to snow! It doesn't snow very often here.) Nothing like Utah or Idaho, where I've also lived.. nothing closes down for snow.. which I always hoped it would when I lived in both places so I wouldn't have to travel in the snow. :o)

Can't wait until Chrismas! We put all the presents under the tree. So fun! It felt like Christmas day! I so badly wanted to open up gifts.. but no one else seemed to think it was a good idea.. party poopers! ;o) haha!
