Christmas, part 2

It's nearly the end of January and I still haven't gotten the rest of our Christmas pictures up! The week before Christmas Nate's parents flew out to visit us. We had a lot of fun with them and I know the girls enjoyed all the attention they got from Papa Gene and Gramma Carol.

On one of the days Nate's parents were here we rode "daddy's train" (a.k.a the MAX) into downtown Portland to visit Nate's work and see the huge Christmas tree in Pioneer Square. Sanaa thought the train ride was great! Layla just wanted out of the stroller so she could run around.


We also went to the Portland zoo to see the zoo lights one evening but I didn't get any pictures of that. The zoo lights were awesome! We'll be going back next year for sure!

Two days before Nate's parents had to leave we opened Christmas presents and both girls had a lot of fun discovering the new toys they got.



Layla received some baby dolls for Christmas and she's had a great time playing with her new dolls. She takes pretty good care of her dolls, so I'm hoping she'll be fairly receptive to a new baby in our house in a few months.

Sanaa's big gift from Nate and I was a scooter and she has loved riding it. She rides it nearly every day.

While Nate's parents were here they also helped get more of our boxes unpacked as well as put the girl's outdoor play structure together and put Nate's new desk together. Since they left.... I haven't done much of anything which means I still have a lot of boxes in the garage. Maybe once the weather is warmer I'll have the energy to get out there and finish unpacking.
