Happy 2018!

Just like last year, we celebrated the new year with a party at our friend's the Kriegler's. The kids had an awesome time eating mac n' cheese and even stayed up till about 11pm! The grownups had a delicious grown up meal of beef tenderloin and lots and lots of bubbly. We also all made it to midnight this year, although Scott and Greg crashed pretty much immediately after.

Happy new year!

slumber party!
 This year, instead of the snow coming to us on New Year's day, we went to the snow! It had snowed her the week before for a beautiful white Christmas (or so I'm told) but by the time we got there, the snow had melted and iced over. The sledding hills were closed so we pulled over to the side and made our own sledding fun! Several other cars stopped along the same road and it ended up being a pretty good time. Nora even got into it this year and was bugging Daddy to go again and again!

Pink ball of coziness!

who needs a sled when you can slide down on your buns?

So much packed snow

It was steeper than it looks in this picture!

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!
