Christmas - Part One...

We had our first Christmas celebration on December 17th - 18th with Jason's Mom and two brothers, Matt and Chris. The three of them came down from Auburn for the night. They got here pretty late so we just hung out for a while before heading to bed. The next morning we got up and had a breakfast I'd made the night before, Company French Toast, which is from my Aunt Amy. It was just as yummy as I remember it being when I was a kid!

We had out Christmas present exchange that morning also. We decided it was more fun to get presents early and to see each other open them! Jason's brother's did an AMAZING job on presents. They got me a bunch of Martha Stewart books and Jason video games! They certainly know our tastes!!

Matt and Chris are so happy about shirts :)

Then we headed out for a little adventure in Portland. First we stopped at Powells - City of Books and while the browsed, Jason and I ran across the street to do a little shopping. Then we ventured over to Big Town Hero to check out their sandwiches. See, Jason and I LOVE sandwiches!!! We have a favorite place in Olympia Port of Subs and we plan our trips North especially around stopping there for meals! Big Town Hero is a close second in our hearts now!

Then we headed to Voo Doo Too to get some doughnuts!! We LOVE Voo Doo and Chris and Matt had seen it on Man VS Food and wanted to try it. We decided to go out to Voo Doo Too, instead of the main one downtown, because it happens to be right next to the sandwich shop! Best street corner ever!!!

The visitors.

After that we went home and the boys played video games and Susan and I cut out all my cut out cookies! It was a great treat to have them all visit us.
