Christmas

This Christmas was a little different than we had planned ( I think I started last Christmas's blog the same way....?). We had planned on going to Idaho to visit Nate's extended side of the family for Christmas, but with the huge storm that hit Portland, it really wasn't safe/sane to think about doing the drive. So we stayed home and enjoyed the winter wonderland.
The Monday before Christmas we were at home enjoying the beginning of the evening when the power went off. Sydney loved it. She was running around the house turning on every switch to see if it might work. After some debate we decided to pack up the car and go to Nate's parents house in Gresham till Christmas.
We had a great Christmas at their house. We did lots of baking and cooking, lots of puzzles. Sydney now has moved to the 100 piece puzzles. Yes 100. We played in the snow, sat by the fire and enjoyed being with family. We are so blessed by all the love we have from family and friends near and far and feel so thankful for all of God's provisions for our family. It was a great time of Celebrating the birth of our Savior and the blessing of family.
