christmas '08

we had a really nice christmas this year. we went to washington state to spend the holiday with joel's family. a few days before we left we had a little christmas with just the three of us, which was really nice. lauren got so many wonderful gifts that will keep her entertained and occupied for a quite a while. her favorite present this year was any and every book she received. any time we handed her a present before opening it she would always say, "book, book". sometimes it was and sometimes it wasn't. i should say she did really enjoy everything she received though.

there was so much snow in washington that we felt like we were still in minnesota!
