Christmas in Seattle

Three days after coming home from MO, we hopped on a plane and flew up to Seattle. This was the first time all of Jeff’s siblings had been together in over 2 years and will be the only Christmas together for another 2 years to come since the twins will be leaving on missions this summer. It was a very full house but good for me to get to know everyone better since 2 of the siblings were on missions last year when we got married. We got to relax for a couple days while everyone got their presents ready.
On Christmas Eve we went up to Jeff’s uncle Scott’s house, per tradition in their family. We had an amazing dinner and then the cousins all act out the Nativity. Jeff’s family also started a new tradition of making ugly sweaters for each other. We each drew a name and “created” an ugly sweater. We opened them at Scott’s house, so we had an audience. It was so funny (see pictures below). When we got home, Santa came and we stayed up late opening presents. We took some family pictures on Monday and I flew out that night. It sucks having a job sometimes… Jeff returned to me on Wednesday. Another successful Christmas.
