This year we spent Christmas Eve and Christmas with my family. One of my family's Christmas Eve traditions is that the boys go skiing all day and the girls stay home and cook. Now before all you femminists gag- the girls LIKE to do this. It has always been really fun to stay home with my mom and sister and do all of the traditional cooking for Christmas Eve dinner and Christmas day. Some of my favorite things are: Swedish Tea Ring, molassas cookies, and German sour cream twists. The Tea Ring is a homemade bread that is pretty much like a huge cinnamon roll. We only make it once a year, so it's always a little tricky to remember exactly how to do it. This year was especially fun because my aunt Julie and my cousins Whitney and Macy came over and made Tea Ring with us.
But sorry, no pictures of us in the kitchen :)
I gave Jayson the camera and told him to take pictures of the boys skiing and look how well he did...
All the skiiers getting geared up...

Christmas Eve evening we went to my grandma and grandpa Cline's home in Alpine. It is always so fun to have a Christmas program and open Christmas jammies... Even my grandparents got some :)
