Christmas Break and New Year

Happy New Year to everyone!  Our Christmas break is now officially over and we are back to work and Angie's. The rest of our vacation had its ups and downs...First, we wanted Mayson to be able to open presents on Christmas day so we attempted stockings for the first time.  As Katie pointed out, we weren't supposed to do big presents with stockings, so we were a bit challenged there, but I think we started a new tradition by tying presents to the stockings!  Unfortunately, Mayson got sick the day after Christmas, so she had a tough week of coughing and not sleeping very well.  Our weather was less than pleasant, but we did get out for a little rain-free bike ride on Christmas day.  We enjoyed dropping in on Marni and her family, and Mayson had some fun Grandma and Grandpa time while we had a night away.  We joined Sara and her family in Portland to welcome in the New Year.  Sara had a great idea of celebrating East Coast style and welcoming in 2013 with the New York festivities at 9:00 Pacific time!   Definitely look for pictures in a much warmer location next December break!
