Home for Christmas
Coming back to Spokane after being away for so long was nice, but different. It was weird seeing Spokane, not as home, but where I grew up. Mack and I have gotten so used to the mild Portland weather, that Spokane seems terribly cold! We have been mostly lounging; I worked at my summer job at the school district for one day and got to see all the kidos I taught this summer, which was nice. We have been doing a lot of shopping and seeing families. Mom's birthday is tomorrow and Christmas the next day. Buddy is very excited about Santa coming. We made a gingerbread house tonight, I think Bud had a lot of fun, but it was hard for me to not try to make everything look perfect. Hope everyone is enjoying the Holiday Season! Merry Christmas!

Christmas Break
To get in the Holiday spirit, Mack and I, along with our friends, decided to go up to Zoo Lights. The Oregon Zoo sets up this wild show of Christmas lights in the shapes of animals, and you ride a train through it. Clearly, since this seems perfect for a 5 year old, I was stoked. But, alas, after a beautiful clear day, it starts pouring down rain ten minutes before we were set to leave. The troubles of living in Portland. So instead, we had everyone over to our house to make gingerbread cookies! We had a total blast and made quite a mess.
After a week of finals for both Mack and I, we are finally on winter break. I finished the semester with a 3.75 GPA which should help my chances of getting into a graduate program for next fall. We are getting packed up and ready to leave for Spokane on the 16th. Christian, one of Mack's friends from the dorm will be staying at our house to watch over Cooper while we are at home. Mack and I are both sad about leaving him here, but we feel it's best to not tote him around when he hates the car so much. We will be back in Portland by the 9th when I start winter quarter. We are both very excited to go back to Spokane after so long away. I'm sure we will have lots of fun adventures. Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the Christmas decorations everywhere! My favorite album as of late has been Michael Buble's Christmas album. Check it out if you haven't heard it.
