We had such a great Christmas season this year! Boy is it great to be in a country that has Christmas! Don't get me wrong, I loved last Christmas - singing carols with friends in Baku is a memory I will always love. :) I miss all my Peace Corps friends, for sure!!
This Christmas I felt so blessed.
This Christmas I felt so blessed.
Jesse and I went to The Nutcracker done by the Eugene Ballet. It is a childhood tradition I always adored. It was fun to share it with Jesse!
We went to Albany to spend time with Jesse's parents and grandparents. 
The day before Christmas Eve, I had my Grandma over to make her famous sugar cookies. It was great to have her over to my house to do this- when we were little my brother and I always went to her house to help her.
We had a wonderful time at Dad and Deena's house for Christmas Eve with Grandma, Adam, Trisha, Brady and Nicole. Dad and Deena gave us a fantastic new laptop- it should help with grad school next month (ack!!). 
My lovely husband surprised me with a KitchenAid! Like I said, I was blessed.
On Christmas we went up to Willamette Pass with Mom and Steve.
It was one of the best days I've ever seen at Willamette. There was about 8 inches of fresh power, clear skies, no crowds and not a breath of wind. It was a great way to spend Christmas (and burn off some of the cookies!).We also sneaked in time with Kenton, Katrina and Finn, went to a Christmas Eve service at our church, a couple movies with friends, and lots of fun times together.
I hope your Christmas was filled with many blessings!

I am so jealous you went to the Nutcracker. I was just saying the other day (well, around Christmas) that I miss seeing that every year. The next time I'm in Eugene around Christmas... Miss you, by the way! :)
