We got drenched!

Bike ride for New Year’s black eyed peas!

Summoning all the nostalgia from Warren Miller movie nights at West High School to kick off the season! The kids loved the idea of racing avalanches:)

And how the night ended! More hallway pen pal writing…someday we’ll get to a point where all hallway parties can read:)

Dancing like a rockfish during the Seattle Aquarium’s Rockin’ Noon Year celebration!

Meryl literally did not stop dancing the whole time during the WAC’s family New Year’s Eve party!
