Christmas 2009 part 1

yes, I know I am REALLY behind .....it's 4am and I just woke up. I laid on the couch ALL day and then put the girls to bed at 7 and went right to bed...just woke up and thought I should drink some apple juice. We've been cooped up for 3 days as we've all been sick and yesterday I felt SO crappy! I still feel crappy but am hoping I can sleep it off!
anyway..thought while I was up at an insane hour I might as well blog:)
This year we stayed home for Christmas. It was our first year with just the 4 of us and it was fabulous, we missed our families but it was so nice to just be together as well.
Our good friends, the cannons, stayed home too so we hung out alot with them.
on Christmas eve we went sledding on Mt. Hood which proved to be WAY too fun!!! we're hoping to make it a yearly tradition.
after that We made a gingerbread house from Scratch and then finished our evening by watching a video about the Savior's birth called "Joy to the World". It could not have been a better day.
Here are a few pictures:

Looks like so much fun. I love getting together with family, but it's fun to start your own traditions.
