Here are some highlights:
- First Christmas since we've been married that all of the Rushes were together at the same time.
- Spiders! Brian's favorite Christmas treat (chocolate, butterscotch, peanuts and chow mein noodles)
- Our dogs getting to interact with baby Jamie and my parents' dog Murphy
- Being elves for Grandma and Grandpa and helping to set up Noah and Ella's Christmas presents: an air hockey table and an elaborate Barbie dollhouse
- Opening our stockings at midnight because we would rather do that than get up early
- Brian reading aloud to me while we drove
- Christmas morning service -- "Christ is born! Glorify Him!" -- followed by reading Father Mel's hilarious Christmas letter
- Snowfall as we drove into Everett for Christmas dinner -- the biggest flakes I think I've ever seen
- My cousin Cheyenne and her boyfriend Moses surprised us and showed up for Christmas dinner, even though they had to turn around and drive back to Yakima that same night
- Playing the drawing game with the Graceys and Mollers - we laughed so hard!
- Watching my parents play Guitar Hero 3!
- All the yummy food!
- Alli teaching me how to knit! (more to come on this soon)
- The chance to rest and do nothing...
Lowlights:
- Brian's mom made his favorite dessert, Mud Pie, in front of him, then he found out later it was for Christmas dinner -- She promptly offered to make him another one if we come up to visit again soon
- Our dogs taking turns vomiting in the middle of the night -- good prep for the baby, right?
- My increasingly aching back
