Christmas Time Festivities

Matt and I had a wonderful Christmas.  We started celebrating on Christmas Eve, when we watched "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and "Elf".  We then had waffles with Mascarpone sauce and blackberries.  Before we fell asleep we read Luke two and watched the clips from Jesus' life mentioned in the Christmas Devotional.

The next morning we had waffles again and went to church.  To get to our church house we go over Magnolia Bridge, which has an incredible view.  On the way back to our apartment, it was raining, but there were windows in the clouds where the sun was shining onto the sound.  It was amazingly beautiful.  After church we had cheese fondue (it's just bread and cheese man!) and talked to my family.  Then we talked to Matt's family.  We spent the rest of the day just hanging out with each other.  I missed being with my family, but it was a really good Christmas.

The monday after Christmas Matt had work off, so we went to the Pacific Science Center.  My favorite part by far was the butterfly room.  A blueish purple butterfly landed on me!  It was so much fun.  The bug exhibit also included a bunch of huge, huge bugs on display.  There was a wasp that was six inches long!  The Center is full of interactive learning stations that teach you about math, biology, and physics.
