Snow! We had lots of snow this year! We did have less in Albany than Salem, which meant I couldn't go to work but could still get around town. I loved how beautiful everything looked, yet Nolan didn't enjoy it as much since he still had to drive to work on the snowy days.
Christmas Eve was spent making Tree-Breads and watching my mom wrap all her Christmas presents. Our cats loved sitting among all the gifts! Then we went to the Christmas Eve service at Morning Star, followed by dinner with Nolan's sister and her husband, Rayanna and Jared. This year the Nelson family went with homemade gifts to save money, so I made each of the girls a messenger bag. Rayanna received her's first.
Christmas morning was just the two of us. I gave Nolan a GPS for his car, and he gave me several great gifts--the best being a gift certificate for a massage! Later my parents joined us, Nolan's brother Jared and his family stopped by, and then Tim and Mike came for the afternoon. Danielle and Madison are modeling the matching messenger bags I made them.
Christmas with the Steiners was celebrated on the 26th. Everyone came to our house. That night, Josiah, Micah and Cambria spent the night. The boys had fun watching a movie in our room before going to sleep. Nolan got a Bluray player from my parents--which he LOVED!
Because of the snow, we celebrated Christmas with the Nelsons on the 28th of December. Nolan's dad made him a bump board--a board used for a game that Nolan played with his Grandma when he was little.
