Christmas 2011

On Christmas, Jason came over along with my parents and Aunt Shannon and we all watched the girls open their presents. The girls got all sorts of things including the famed Nintendo DS and Leapster that they had both been begging santa for. After we opened presents it was off to my Aunt Stephanies house in Oregon to spend the day there. We had a great time. The food was delicious and the company was even better.

We went to my moms. My aunt Shannon was there and she brought king crab legs from Alaska!
