Christmas & a New Years trip to Bend!

Our festive mugs, antler ears, and beautiful tree!

I love the lights at night!

Christmas at the Cnossen house :)

Jesus made me a peppermint mocha...mmm!

Our favorite nieces came to hang out :)

They came over again and we made sugar cookies! The one above had chocolate and crushed candy cane and it was AWESOME! We also took some frozen raspberries from the summer and mixed it in with frosting to get the pink frosting, which was delicious!

Making a Gingerbread train with Alisa & Carly!

Snowman pancakes and Christmas coffees on the morning of "Sexy Christmas", a favorite new tradition ;) 

I really wanted this for Christmas- I got it twice (from Jesus and my mom lol)

Our first Christmas card!

A few hilarious gifts exchanged ;) 

We took a trip to Bend over New Years!  My parents had bought a house to rent out and decided to take us all on a trip to Bend before the renters moved in- we slept on air mattresses with sleeping bags, brought folding chairs, etc. It was a fun trip!

Jesus made a great picture- the house was not quite done being built here!

The boys played Risk and the girls played Rummikub!

Ice Skating with my favorite sister!  She totally learned how to skate backwards!

The girls got to go on a sled dog ride!  It was beautiful and so peaceful! 

Enjoying a mocha :)

We went to the Lundin's octagonal house for New Years- it was a beautiful house and lots of good friends!
