Instead of presents, my parents rented a house in Lincoln City on the Oregon Coast for a couple of days. It was super super cute and a short walk from the beach, complete with queen-sized beds for everyone! Not to mention the most comfortable down pillows and comforters ever (I slept like a baby). My mom charged my sister and I with each planning one breakfast and one dinner for the 2 full days we were there, and it was so nice for someone to basically make me take the time to plan the meal and cook it. Also, it was nice to have someone give me the money to go grocery shopping instead of me buying it :) Thanks, mom! We decided as a family that, from now on, we'd like to do mini vacations like our beach getaway instead of presents if we can all get together for the holidays again. The only one missing, of course, was Nick! Though I felt like he was there since we Face-timed on our phones a lot :) Gotta love technology. Here are some phone snaps from the beautiful Oregon coast!
