Three weeks of winter vacation was wonderful this year! I vote for that length in the future!
We got to hang out and play with Lily and Levi on Christmas Eve
Uncle Darin and Cade making funny faces after Cade had just wiggled his tooth out
This year we got to spend Christmas morning at home and unwrap presents.
Santa was very generous and the kids enjoyed unwrapping their presents quickly so we could catch our afternoon flight to Seattle!

We did a lot more activities this trip because the kids are older and it's easier to get out with them. We tried rock climbing in Bellevue
Kenny was a little scared, but got the hang of it!
Cade got pretty high on the adult wall... almost to the top twice! I had to go coax him down because he just froze up there. I think he kept looking down when he got to a certain point and it freaked him out! But he got really high, so I don't blame him!
The main reason for the trip was for our friend Shawn's birthday. He celebrated his special yakudoshi- in the Japanese culture, when men hit the milestone 40, you celebrate for good luck. So, he chose to celebrate by attending a Seahawks vs Rams game. Garrett and Shawn are both Rams fans and surrounded themselves by overly zealous Seahawks fans!
So while the boys watched football...
We took the kids and hung out with Joy and her two kids in Seattle!
Tako! He`e! Giant Octopus! It was funny to hear the kids calling the octopus by different names
It was cold and windy!
We got to visit with the Luceros!
We swung by UPS to show the kids where we went to school
We also got to hang out with this cutie pie and his parents for a bit!
Then we enjoyed Zoo Lights with the Wren family again
Agh... but we didn't take any pics of their new house!
This year we also ventured off to the mountains...
... we bundled up
and tried TUBING!
This kiddo wasn't happy about the cold- he went down once and was done. Finally had to put goggles on him and warm him up with hot cocoa.
Kenny on the other hand LOVED IT!
We enjoyed bowling again! What a fun trip!
