Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Jason is finally home and we are moved into our new place in Washington. It has been a whirlwind of a month for us. Our town received a couple of feet of snow over a few days, which apparently never ever happens here! We all had a blast in it making snowmen and giving Madison rides on her new sled. We also went on a "mini-vacation" to Leavenworth, WA which is a Bavarian-themed winter wonderland this time of year. The entire town was strewn with Christmas lights - it was so beautiful, especially due to the large amount of snowfall it received while we were there. We even got to go on a real sleigh ride! Then we came back home and spent a quiet Christmas just the three of us. Madison received tons of gifts, and it got to the point where she had "Christmas overload" and we thought it would be a good idea to finish opening gifts later in the day. The princess tea set and doctor kit were a big hit this year =) Now that the Christmas rush is over and our house is unpacked, we can finally take a deep breath, only for a minute, because our next little girl is due in just a few weeks! I have a feeling we won't be getting much rest after that =)
