Sunny and I spent Christmas morning at Laurie and Scott’s house and Christmas evening at my parent’s house. We had a white Christmas! I can’t remember the last white Christmas we had, this was special, our first Christmas together as a married couple is something we will always remember.

Christmas Eve was at Laurie and Scott’s house this year.

Sunny and I had my family over for a Christmas dinner at our condo. Sunny worked really hard, our condo was gorgeous, and dinner was outstanding.

Inches of snow have been dumped over the Pacific Northwest the last few days. Driving to work this morning was part slalom and part roller coaster ride! Later Andre, Bruce, and I took turns shoveling snow.

Sunny and I celebrated Christmas at Ian and Dria’s house. We had a great time, our nephews loved their gifts!

Ruiter family Christmas was at Aunt Alice and Uncle Arvin’s house this year. They had recently remodeled their house and it was beautiful. We had a fun time.

Sunny and I joined Ian and Eric at the Seahawks game. The Seahawks started well, but eventually fell to the Patriots. Fun game!

Sunny and I traveled to Leavenworth with Mike and Jill for the lighting ceremony. We had a great time, the city did not let us down. The condo we stayed in was not far from downtown so we walked. Within Leavenworth we ducked in little shops to look at Christmas ornaments. For the lighting ceremony we ended up on the balcony of our restaurant overlooking the festival. We’re already planning to return next year.

Sunny and I purchased a noble for our first Christmas Tree. We had to carry the tree across the street to get it home and squeeze it though the door. The tree is the perfect size for the living room! Sunny convinced me to decorate the tree immediately, and I’m glad we did. We had a great time and the tree is beautiful. I can’t wait to wrap presents to put under the tree! Merry Christmas!

Sunny and I had two Thanksgiving dinners today! In the afternoon we ate at Idamae and Khai’s house. That evening we had dinner at Laurie and Scott’s house. We ate so much we had to roll ourselves home!
