Christmas Card sneak peek!

By
We're usually SO late with taking pictures for our Christmas card. When Evie was 2, we went the weekend of Thanksgiving and her poor lips turned blue from being so cold! I've gotten better since then but only by a few weeks! Thankfully, the weather lately has been pretty warm (low 60s in early Nov is unheard of!) so taking pictures this year was more enjoyable. This time, we trekked to our photographer's farm about an hour outside Seattle to take some outdoor shots. The girls weren't too keen on the petting all the animals (horses, chickens, goats, turkeys, dogs) but we had fun anyway. I'm really happy with how the photos turned out, and can't wait to make our Christmas cards! Here's a sneek peek of the pics, including some outtakes that will not make it on the card. :)


Neither girls look thrilled about this pose.

It took a while for Nora to warm up.

Nora smiled if we had her say "trick or treat!"

or, if she said "I like chocolate!"

And yes, there were bribes (Skittles!) to get these smiles!

    These outtakes are pretty good! Can't wait to see the card and the real photos!

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.

Eating on the road

By
With all the COVID restrictions on restaurants and Scott not liking takeout service, we've gotten pretty good at planning meals for days we are out and about. We've basically taken to tailgating... a lot! It is nice though that it means having a hot meal to warm up after a day of playing in the snow and I'm not going to lie - it is also a good excuse to eat instant noodles because it is fast and easy and warming!   For overnight stays, we end up doing instant pot meals like one-pot spaghetti or chili, or easy meals like a cheese plate or sandwiches. It does save on $ so that's definitely nice but man, I can't wait to go out to restaurants again! Beef and barley soup lunch at Mt Baker. Chillin' with Chili at Crystal Mountain. Beautiful but cold picnic in Wenatchee Little girl loving her hot ramen over Blewitt Pass Jook after sledding at Crystale Springs Chicken Noodle Soup in the snow at Salmon Ridge. Pho bowls under the ferry awning at Diablo Lake.

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.
