Jon and I flew in on Tuesday to Washington to visit my parents and my sisters, our flight was delayed by 2 hours thanks to the snow conditions, but I am just glad we were able to get here because just the day before Alaska Air cancelled numerous flights and there was word that no one would be able to fly in in time for Christmas...so we were a bit worried but glad we made it!
We have been playing in the snow here and there and it's nice to finally be on vacation! I haven't taken a vacation ever since I started working when I was 19. And spending time with my sisters and family has been fun....we don't even sleep here! LOL.
Anyway here are some pics that we've been taking, the BF got me a digital photo frame which was nice since I have a ton of pics, and what's funny is that I got my mom a digital photo frame for Christmas and wanted one for myself! My sister loved her makeup kit from Kohls and the brushes I got her as well as the new kicks from Pastry she wanted, and my other sister Megan really liked her new backpacked that I filled with other goodies that was on her wishlist. My dad really liked the iPod we got him as well and Jon loved the clothes and digital camera I got him- so all in all, I am glad that everyone liked their gifts.
It truly feels like Christmas here...I haven't had a white Christmas since I left Canada when I was 11, so it was nice to sorta re-live childhood memories, especially with my mom's cooking and all the Christmas decorations they have at the house.
I just hope you all are enjoying the holiday and got everything you wanted from Santa!
With the lights on!
