Christmas Take 2

Our week here has been outstanding. Josh and I have had the joy of sleeping in without getting up with Royce. My mom took over that duty and actually really enjoyed it. Christmas was fun, my youngest brother Jordan, and also the newest coast guard recruit visited for a few days; meeting Royce for the first time. We were able to see nearly all the extended family. Josh went with my dad, brother and uncle to a shooting range and played around with some cool guns.

We went to the ocean, puget sound really, we took pictures but our card camera decided to fail us and we lost all the pictures. We went to see Avatar in 3D; it had the most beautiful colors and scenery. The Obama Family even went and saw the movie, I think it's funny what makes national top breaking news these days. Our family friends threw a big party, like usual, for New Year's Eve. Unfortunately we went home early sick and rang in the new year asleep. The best part was relaxing and showing off Royce. Many people said her pictures don't even do her justice on how cute she is in person.

Also rule of thumb- I'm buying my bottles of alcohol at home from now on. Our night out at Applebee's was expensive. The tab ran up quick and just 2 shots of Chivas was $17... we could have bought a bottle with one more drink at that price. Even so we were with friends and that was the best part. We will miss our Washington family once again as we make our way back home to Utah. Our return will be to celebrate Royce's first birthday and take a mini vacation- just Josh and I.
