White Christmas

So we had our first white christmas and even though it meant we were home bound for almost a week it was fun to be at home and with my family. The day before we were to fly into Seattle we got about 8 inches in Utah but luckily we had smooth traveling to and from Seattle. My parent's even sent a car service to come get us from the airport because of the icy roads. We felt pretty luxurious.

I couldn't believe the amount of snow there was. I mean this is western washington. Christmas is supposed to have rain and fog not snow. But we took advantage of it and made snow men, snow dogs and I think Steve made a bear?(Steve and his snow bear)(Our creations!)(Family photo shoot snowball fight, it was supposed to be totally staged but then someone pushed mom and she slipped and then everyone laughed as the camera went off)

We also had a huge snowball fight with my dad and brothers and it was really fun. We were running through the bushes and my dad totally slipped and fell and all I could do was laugh and throw a snowball at him.

Christmas was wonderful, we got to sleep in and shower before a nice big breakfast and then open gifts. I got Photoshop CS4 Extended and a Wii game, Big Brain Academy and Love Actually from Steve. My parents got me some books, battleship, wall-e, the dark knight, a really pretty necklace, AAA membership and we got a Wii for ourselves as our family gift. I got Steve this really cool portable record player that he wanted and some much needed socks and some books and movies. Over the next few days we played Wii, mom was literally unbeatable in bowling, tried to venture out and ended up getting temporarily stuck in the Best Buy parking lot and just hung out and of course over-ate. My mom has these candy dishes all over the house that miraculously replenish themselves all the time. (My brother Micah and Frosty-huge snowman with safety cone hat)
Oh and I got to see one of my best friends from high school who I haven't seen since my wedding and who has two beautiful little girls. Crazy. Overall it was a great christmas!(Jessica and I at her parent's house)
