What a week. We have had a lot of snow and ice in Portland. On Monday we went and got Jared's sister Nicole from her snow bound house in Salem. We had so much fun spending time with her these last five days. Because she lives in Salem we have really only done one thing with just her the last 8 months. So it was very nice to have Everett and us play with Coley. We had Christmas eve with the Carter Family. We did the Nativity, treats and a white elephant exchange. We laughed so hard and had such a good time. Christmas morning was fun. Santa was very good to all of us. Everett really got the handle of opening presents. Christmas brunch was at the Carters again. One of the best parts of Christmas is my Mom's strawberry waffles. We opened some gifts there and loved spending time with family. We had Christmas dinner at Misty's with Jared's family. Everett had a blast with his cousins. With no nap all day, Everett was going on pure adrenaline by about 4 pm. The day after Christmas we took Aunt Nicole to dinner for her birthday. It was so fun to spend her birthday with her. We took these pictures at Chevy's. Have fun watching the two video scrapbooks we made from this week. We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and have a safe and great New Year.
