Post Holiday Skiing

Lucy got her first day on the bunny hill at the Pass and did great. The magic carpet was a HUGE hit for both girls - Betsy rode it up a few times without any ski gear. It ended up being a perfect day with just a bit of snow sprinkling as we were headed out. And, although there are no pics of Mark, he was there giving Lucy her first lessons!!!

Merry Christmas

Lucy got a pick sleeping beauty camera and Betsy got a large tent house from Santa. They loved everything they got from Santa, family, and friends -- even the apple in their stockings was a big hit!

Christmas Eve

Somehow I didn't get one of both girls...I'll have to check my phone. Thank you Aunt Janice for the cutest handmade doll blankets, the girls love them (your gift was opened Christmas Eve).

Going Downtown

We headed downtown Seattle to see the gingerbread houses and teddy bear suit, and ended up eating out at Capital Grill. The tree is a living tree - Lucy picked the shortest one available so she could hang the star :)

Holiday Outtings

G'ma Karen arrived to spend the end of December and entire month of January with us, so we took full advantage of having an extra hand. First stop was Swanson's Nursery to see the reindeer, camel, and train set.

Santa Visit

We went and met Santa this weekend - no tears, but also no sitting on his lap!

Go Dawgs!

We have hit 4 tailgates this season, and no rain if you can believe it! Betsy and Addison love hanging out while the dads and older kids go into the game for the first quarter.

Busy

This is why there haven't been many blog postings this Summer...our home remodel is 99% done and we're back in Edmonds. I'll post some fun pics of the kids soon but this is our current baby.
