No nap today, too much going on! Holmes literally fell asleep while I was reading tonight:)

Rain and wind pummeled Seattle today. So, we cozied up and Xanna read to the kids! Well, Holmes stayed cozy warm by running around:)

Games, games, games! Happy New Year!

Black eyed peas and pork for good luck! Meryl and I dropped some off to Grandpa too:)

And more good luck!

We joined the Seattle Aquarium for their Rockin’ Rockfish Noon Year Celebration…complete with Salish Sea factoids and sea creature dance moves:) Happy New Year’s Eve!

Near three hours in the car this morning and we arrived home with a sockless wonder drinking hot chocolate:) The highway closed juuust as we arrived on the downhill side of the snowfall, so our skiing and snowboarding adventure was for naught. We did get to see huge snow plows forging ahead and huge semi-trucks chaining-up, though. Cheering the rain in Seattle for snow in the mountains, we’ll be back!

Bubble tea!

We travelled to everyone’s houses tonight to deliver presents:)

Spinning cement mixers and plotting paved paths.

We’re working down our Super Fun Vacation List of Activities this week, which includes a run-around with Lummi at Discovery Park. Don’t the kids look like walking and talking teenagers in the bottom picture?
