I could probably go on forever about how fantastic our Christmas break was. But I'll try to keep it brief and let the pictures do the talking. Michael and I had the greatest 1st Christmas imaginable! First, Michael's parents came to Provo to visit and it was great to have a visit with them. Then, we were able to take off to Oregon! And ohhhh was it ever JUST what we needed. It was so wonderful to be at home with my parents. I enjoy spending time with them so much and it just feels so good to be there. We had so much fun! Right when we got off of the plane we were greeted by Mom, Emily, Easton, and Carly and they took us right over to Marc, Connie, Kellen, and Caleb! Oh I was in heaven immediately. We went to the Portland Zoo and saw the zoo lights and it was fantastic!
I was only aboe to see Em and the kids for 24 hours but it was SO great to get my fix and squeeze those babies!! Look at this beauty:
The festivities included: Cookie baking, game playing, movie watching, michael's first $5 gift exchange, opening presents, watching my adorable nephews play with their new toys, visiting with family, and my favorite part... just hanging out, relaxing, and spending quality time with my parents. It was awesome to have Michael with me on such a special day. For the past 2 years I've opened boxes from Taiwan and this year I got to open my boxes with him sitting right there. It really was so special to me. I just kept remembering the past 2 Christmases, wondering what Michael was doing and missing him. And this year- we were together. It was perfect.
