Our Favorite Hike

We went for a hike for some after-Christmas fun. It was rainy, windy, and the mountains weren't out (the Olympics are usually HUGE right across the water), but it was still beautiful.

Merry Christmas to All!

Our angelsMmmmmm... salami-faced gingerbread men. Yummy!

Hey! That's my present! Can I play?

It didn't take me long to get the hang of this, though the paper and ribbons were definitely the best part of the holiday. That and the cheese I managed to sneak off the table.

Aunt Katy made me a new apron! I can't wait to start baking with Mom!

Santa Claus Came to Town

Santa rode the fire engine in our neighborhood tonight!

Evan and Cameron visiting with Santa and getting a treat.

Then Santa went to the library! Mom read the time wrong so we were over an hour late for the story, but all the other kids had already gone home and we got him all to ourselves! And we got to check out books. What a great night!

Good Day

Check out my bear booties!

We cut and decorated our tree today. This picture doesn't show the bottom 12", which is bare after we caught Nathan trying to take off ornaments. You may also note that there is only one ball on it (near the top). Mom thought that was safer since Nathan is really into balls right now and he played with the ball ornaments the whole time we were decorating. Why tempt fate?
