Cousin weekend

By
Over President's day weekend, Ian and Owen came to visit and the girls were beyond delirious with happiness and excitement over seeing their cousins. Evie will sometimes say "Ian is my best friend", which Nora has now added "Owen is my best friend". It's super cute and so great to see these kiddos playing so well together. Cross your fingers that lasts forever! 

It was a fun filled weekend of hanging out at home watching the Olympics, visiting the Museum of Flight and a nearby brewery, and trekking up to the pass for some sledding action. Here's a few snaps of the fun!

They spent hours playing with this marble game.
It was a good Xmas present from PohPoh and Goong Goong!

We watched the videos we took during the day and apparently it was funny.
So cute and sweet how these two are buddies!

The only "good" group shot I got of these kiddos in the snow.

Even Owen went sledding and loved it!

There was also a good snowball fight. It was Scott versus....

everyone else!

Owen thought it was funny when his mommy would smash snow in her hands.
 Nora's reverse snow angel!

Happy as a clam playing with the snow. What a difference from last year!

You can't really tell in the pics but the snow was new and soft and deep!

Happy new year!!

By
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.

Nutcracker

By
I have fond memories of going to watch the Nutcracker at Christmas time and have been looking forward to when I can take my girls to watch with me. After Evie sat through Frozen on Ice so well, we figured she's old enough to sit through a ballet. We invited our pal Blakely and her mom Lauren to go with us, and we made it a girls trip. The little tykes did amazingly well! We got there early enough to grab booster seats for the two of them, and also splurged a bit on nicer seats to make sure they could see the dancers. They asked some questions throughout (like, what are those rats?) but for the most part watched quietly. Towards the end, Evie fell asleep but not before enthralled by the Sugar Plum Fairy and her sparkly dress.  I can't wait to do it again next year!  Pretending to be a ballerina. Palsy walsy. These two are the cutest! Mommy daughter picture Waiting for the show to start!
