Merry Christmas!

As usual, Christmas came and went so quickly. I love the holiday season and I'm always kind of bummed when its over! This year was no exception. It went by too fast, but I'm so happy I got to spend so much time with my family. Matt and I are blessed to have families who live close by. We spent the 23rd at Matt's parent's house, I spent Christmas Eve singing at 4 church services with my parents (Matt, Jerry, and Linda came to hear us sing), and then we spent Christmas day at both our parent's homes. We had a great couple of days...I can't wait to do it again next year!

Seattle shopping trip

Every year my family takes a trip to Seattle to do a little Christmas shopping. It's more or less just an excuse to go out to eat, sleep in a hotel, and see all the lights. This year, we were lucky enough to be in Seattle during the big storm. The drive was awful, but the city looked beautiful! Shopping was great too because there was no one around! Here are a few pics from our trip.

Snowing like crazy

I-5 looked more like the pass...but we made it!

First snow of the year

Today we woke up to snow...not a lot, but enough! Lacey has never seen snow before, so it was fun to see her reaction. She loved sniffing and eating it. Last night, she was even snapping at the flakes that were falling. Here are a few pictures of her first couple of minutes outside this morning.

Family Pics...take 2!

Here are a couple of the pictures from "Family Picture night with Yeun Fewing!" Simon did a fantastic job and I'm so happy we finally got this done!
