Christmas Festivities

There is a pending barrage of photos, but in the meantime, here's another quickie from this week.  We went downtown a few nights ago with friends Colin and Kire to see the gingerbread houses, watch the snow fall in a downtown mall, enjoy hot chocolate, and ride the carousel.  All things were a big hit with the girls, and they didn't want their carousel ride to end.  Last night we went to Bellevue to see the Christmas lights at the botanical gardens, and the girls loved the lights, but they were a bit difficult to keep contained (as you can see from the craziness of that one photo).  We had plans to go to snowflake lane last night too, but headed home for bedtime after the lights.  The girls are very excited about Santa.

Walk a Mile in Their Shoes

Here are a few  photos from several weeks ago- a couple from a playground we all visited while shopping, and also a few from the girls' first official 1 mile long walk on their own feet (with a bakery aid station stop right in the middle of course).  Many more photos to come very soon.
