I just love Christmas! I've never been away from my parents at Christmas in my life, but this year Jeff and I really wanted to have Christmas at our own home. So, despite the low chances for a White Christmas, we made plans to stay in Seattle and Jeff's parents came to join us. We planned a bunch of fun things.

| In the heart of Leavenworth |

| Pie Night! |
The shopping seemed to last for ever this year, but we finally finished up on Wednesday. We ended the day on Wednesday with a Pie Party! We brought a pumpkin pie. There were about 10 pies there - our favorites were the Raspberry Cream pie, Apple Cranberry pie, and Marionberry/Blackberry pie.

| Leavenworth |
Thursday we headed to Leavenworth, and adorable Bavarian village about 2 hours east of Seattle. I just love that place! We shopped and ate and enjoyed the snow and lights.

| At the Gingerbread displays |
Christmas Eve we went to one of my favorite Seattle Christmas displays - the Gingerbread House Competition (see next blog post). We delivered treats to friends and then dug into an amazing (if I do say so myself) Mexican feast! We ended the night with some Luke 2 and Christmas stories (and some last minute wrapping).
Christmas morning we got spoiled rotten - partly by other people but mostly by ourselves! I guess next year we should stick to our budget! Oh well!
Merry Christmas to all and to all a Happy New Year!!!
