She's One!

You can have a party in you dream's tonight...It's Pajama Time

We love Christmas Eve pajamas!

And the cute kids wearing them!

Christmas Pictures

As usual, we were such slackers getting our family pictures taken this year. As we got ready for church one Sunday, I figured we were all looking as good as we would any other time, so we better get some shots. This is how most of them turned out:

Not so cute. We were able to get a couple that would work, but I really think we are due for some professional help!

It's not too hard to get a shot of Sadie looking cute. It was so fun to see her enjoying everything Christmas--even if she did eat everything she could get her hands on!

Seeing Seattle

My sister Larissa has spent the last 7 years or so living far away. First in Milwaukee, and now in Seattle. I get to see her when she comes here for holidays and other things, but I have never been to her house. I decided a few months ago that I really wanted to go, and that I would surprise her for her birthday.

Surprise!

So, Sadie and I took off to spend almost a week up there. We went to some fun spots in Seattle, like Pike Place Market...

The Space Needle...

And a ferry ride over to Kingston for a fun day trip.

(It was a little windy)

My niece Olivia was afraid to get her pants wet in the freezing water, so she pulled them all the way up and had a great new look going.

We ate some delicious crepes. Yum!

Sadie was pretty clingy for the whole trip, but she did like to play with her cousins. Olivia got to teach her how to accessorize!

We had so much fun! Thanks for letting us crash your place Lar! Hopefully next time we come to visit you'll be much closer!

Zak stayed home with the boys for the week. Luckily we have great friends who were willing to help out so Zak could get some work in. He ran a pretty tight ship, making sure homework and chores were done everyday. And they got to have fun watching movies, eating out, and going to the wildlife museum.

A little late...
