After we exchanged gifts and ate we tried to get some good family pictures. I've included some of the pictures I had on my camera, my sister-in-law is the photographer so the good pictures are on her camera. I'll try to include some of the entire family when I get them from Crystal.
Christmas was wonderful! We had a really low key Christmas and just spend a lot of good family time together. We shared gifts, ate food, played games, and had a great time. 
Lexi Noodle is 4 years old! She had a birthday party planned at the Portland Zoo but due to weather it was cancelled. So my parents, Nate, Crystal, and I took her to build-a-bear to celebrate. Jennine was snowed in in Portland and almost didn't make it down for Christmas. Lex loved making her Hello Kitty and picking out a pretty outfit for her. Because it was for her birthday she got to ring the birthday bell and the entire store sang to her. We had a good time. She's getting so big and growing up so fast. On December 18th Alexis went from my favorite 3 year old to my favorite 4 year old. I've always told Lex she's my favorite child at whatever age she is (my favorite 1 year old, 2 year old, etc.), it's too bad she reminds me how old I am when she tells me I'm her favorite 29 year old... 
Sunday night it started snowing and man it was cold! Jennine and I went out for a few minutes but that's all we could handle. Monday the roads were bad and I stayed home from work. Jennine and Lex could not make it back to Portland so we got to play in the snow. Lex and I had a fun walk down by the river and she really enjoyed throwing the snow! Now we just have to wait and see what the weather has in store for us now! Lexi's birthday is on Thursday and we have a party planned for Saturday in Portland. We're just praying the weather will be good and we can make it up there to celebrate. Happy Early birthday Lex! You are Noni's favorite 4 year old now!!!
