Christmas 2008

We had a wonderful Christmas and Penny was so much more involved on her 1st Christmas than Theo had been on his. I guess that's the difference between being 4 months old and being 11 months old! We decided to stay home for Christmas morning at our own house and then head over to Andy's parents' house for Christmas Day. My family celebrated Christmas together on the Saturday after Christmas. It sounded like a great plan, but very nearly didn't happen like we'd thought. There was too much snow to get out of our driveway and nowhere in Whatcom County had tire chains!! Luckily, craigslist came to our rescue and we were able to find a pair of chains for sale (that didn't fit) and then find another pair that did (and re-sell the ones we had originally bought!). It was a lot of finagling, but it all worked out and we made it!

Here are a few pictures of our fun time with our families!
