It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

There's lots to catch up on our blog, but here's a quickie update. It's tradition for us to get our tree the week of Thanksgiving so when we got home from Bend, Oregon, the first order of business was to start decorating for Christmas!

Evie insisted on having lights on the house this year and Scott obliged by stringing lights on the tree outside since we didn't want to deal with getting up on an icy roof. Here's Scott, hard at work:

Meanwhile, the girls were inside decorating the tree. I had to feed Nora so Evie had a good 20 minutes of decorating on her own, which is where you can see a great big cluster of ornaments in the left side there. I actually think that corner looks the best - she has quite the artistic eye! I promised her that this holiday shopping season, I'd be on the lookout for more ornaments to add to our tree.

She's very proud of her tree!

Happy new year!!

Goodness, it's already 2025! It's been a really long time since we posted! We had a very lazy new year. We flew back from LA on the evening of the 31st so spent the last remaining hours of 2024 cozying up on the couch and then fell asleep before it even hit midnight! On New Years day, we slept in, cleaned up the house and then did a quick hike the next day. All in all, a good start to the year! Nora's new blanket hoodie. Cold and muddy trails. We're not in LA anymore! We hiked the Primrose trail that follows Coal Creek.

Glass art

We picked up our finished creations from the glass blowing class we took a few weeks ago and I think they came out great! Can you tell who made which one? Nora's sunset pumpkin, May's bluebird and Evie's snow pumpkin.

Trick or Treat!

Halloween this year was the quietest one we've had in 13 years! This was the first one we had without the girls! Both of them went to friends houses and left Scott and I to man the door. It was very quiet at home because the doorbell rang only 4x the entire night, but at least both girls said they had a lot of fun despite it being rainy and dreary out. Thankfully, they have finally learned to not trust Seattle weather in October and chose warm(ish) costumes!
