It's the most wonderful time of the year!

By
We've been living in the PNW for (gasp!) 8 years now and have never gone to cut down our own Christmas tree. Since this past weekend had beautiful, dry, sunny (but cold) weather, we decided to finally try it out and headed over to Trinity Tree Farm. 

If you've never gone to cut your own tree, let me tell you - it is surprisingly hard to agree on the perfect tree! We walked up and down the aisles, searching for the one that's just the right height (taller than Daddy!), not too fat but not too thin, isn't crooked, and doesn't have many bald spots. You'd think it would be easy but it's not. That's okay though, it was a beautiful day and we had fun stomping around among the trees. 


All bundled up!

See anything you like, Nora?

We found "our" tree!

Daddy's strong enough to cut down the tree!


And, here's the final product! Pretty nice, huh? It was a fun day but I think we might just stick to Home Depot next year!

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.

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!
