Thankful for green beans and tweezers

We started a new holiday tradition last year where we celebrate Thanksgiving on Orcas island with my folks. The girls love Grammy time, crafts and baking.

Well, after a big meal of turkey, cranberry jello, cornbread and green beans we were rubbing our belly’s when Nora discreetly stuffed a large chunk of green bean up her nose. May valiantly tried to pull out the chunk herself but after it seemed futile grandpa called the fire department! They were very sweet with Nora and after a few different attempts (notice kiddo right side up and upside down), success! Out came the bean. The cheering and applause scared Nora but she soon felt better once she was presented with a stuffy by the fire men.

Nora, when you make your case about making wise decisions and ask for a car when you are 16, notice exhibit A above :)

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!
