Ice Skating!

The day after Christmas we went ice skating with Greg and Kyle. I couldn't believe it, but Nick has never been before!! He was nervous of course ;) but he did great. Don't worry he didn't spend the ENTIRE time against the wall! No he really was a natural and if the skates didn't hurt his feet so much he would have enjoyed it even more.

Christmas Morning

It's tradition Christmas morning that we can open our stockings as soon as we wake up, but we are not allowed to start on the presents until everyone is there. It was wonderful this year to have everyone home for Gregory's last Christmas before he leaves on his mission Feb 6th. We opened lots of fun gifts, watched Logan play with his new toys, and had a yummy breakfast.












Later that afternoon we had a fantastic Christmas dinner. Isn't family the best thing ever?!

Christmas Eve In Seattle

Here we are in our Christmas pj's we got to open Christmas eve.



The day before Christmas we relaxed and hung out with my family.


I helped my mom make pies and turtle cheesecake--YUM!! We always love baking/cooking together while the guys do who knows what! :)



Kyle and Greg looking great as always as they spend quality time together playing video games

Interplayers and Snowboarding

We enjoyed a fun evening together the week before Christmas. We went with Nick's mom and the Sanders kids to the Spaghetti Factory for dinner, and then met up with one of Nick's friends to go to a play at Interplayers. It was "A Reduced Christmas Carol" and it was a comedy based on the Charles Dickens story and was sort of like who's line is it anyway. Very funny and made for a great evening out.


We stayed the night at the lodge at Silver Mountain resort after my last day of work before the break. The lodge was a lot of fun and we would definitely recommend staying there! We spent the evening with Natalie and Kevin--we ate some dinner, and played at the arcade for awhile. The next morning we went snowboarding at silver mountain. It was Nick's first time ever and he did great! Unfortunately we didn't really get any pictures except of Nick walking around outside the lodge, and Nat and Kev driving on our way home. We are going again this weekend to take Gregory for his 19th birthday! :)
