A week before Christmas, my brother David’s mission companion got married in the Portland temple, so David flew up for the weekend. Since this also coincided with Camille flying in for a Christmas visit to my parents, we had a mini get-together at our house for the weekend. It was quite the group with my mom and dad, Jake, Stacey, and their two kids, David, and Camille.

After two different Christmases of attempting to see the parade of ships with David and my parents, they finally made it on Saturday with no weather preventing us from going. We got there just in time to see all of the boats, and the rain even let up for a little bit while we were there. We were a little disappointed when we arrived and they told us our wait would be 2 1/2 hours for a table, but luckily they misquoted us by 2 hours, so the wait wasn’t bad at all!

On Sunday, we had fun playing the chimes. I also made my first attempt at making a buche de noel. It turned out pretty good!
Landon, David, and Davis excited to eat the buche.
We also tried something else new this year. We went to Peacock Lane in Portland, a street famous for its Christmas lights. It was fun to see the lights, and although it was busy, it didn’t seem too crowded. We stopped downtown after and found some treasures at the big Ross, one of our favorite shopping places. It was a fun visit!
