We had the best Christmas in Portland. Lauren got to play with her cousins Gabe and Kathryn, and we worked on her sharing. We also got to see my cousins Liss, Shannon and their girls, Emily and Lucy. We had a fun dinner and Lolo loved playing with the big girls. We always love the big family get together, it feels like the holidays Brett and I grew up with.

Lauren finally got the idea of Christmas by the end and was unwrapping the presents. She got so many wonderful gifts including crayons, a cleaning set, a talking piggy bank and some new clothes.
