Last day of school

For Zoey's last day of school they put on a sing-along at school and the kids have been practicing for weeks. Some of the songs I don't even know but I just love how they expose her to so much there. Zoey is super excited for her last day and so am I as we both have off until Jan 2nd!!!! Here we come winter break! :) video

Yet another view

Pancakes with Santa & wagon rides

This morning we all went down to the firehouse for pancakes with Santa. It's a fun tradition that the local firehouse has been doing since we moved here. The Santa wasn't the best but Zoey told him that she wanted a sign for door that said "Zoey's Room" and he said and "keep out, right"! SANTA!!! Oh well, now I'll have to come up with a new sign for her room.

Shawn had decorated his wagon with lots of lights and the girls went around the block in it and had a blast! What a fun thing to do and it's getting me all ready for the festivities! I'm getting excited for Christmas, I just love this time of the year :) pictures

KG - arial picture

Candy asked Curtis if he could take an arial shot of the kids at school standing in the initials of a teach they lost. Of course he was happy to do it and it was also an excuse for him to use his drone. They were super happy with the shot he got...pretty awesome!

Snowflake Lane

Monique and I planned to take the kids to see Snowflake Lane in Bellevue and have dinner beforehand at the Cheesecake factory. Right before we finished dinner we could see it getting ready to start outside so we had the guys pay up and the girls and I went outside to get in line. It was a super fun show and we all enjoyed ourselves. Love impromptu days like today! pictures

Another spectacular view at work

Hawks and Santa

Took Mike to the game today and we had a blast. We ran into his neighbors and tailgated with them for awhile, then on our way into the stadium we ran into Santa, then Jason and crew. They gave us some infused gummy bears for the game and they were pretty amazing!!! The game was also amazing and so glad we won!!!! Close one....GO HAWKS!!!

All decorated and ready for Christmas

This year I got enough manger items to open one each day and then open baby Jesus at Christmas. I'm so excited and we've already opened 3! Our tree this year is from Costco and we got a bunch of decorations from Ellen, blowups and Santa's. Our house is pretty amazing this year I have to say and it brings me so much joy to look at the blow-up while I wash dishes and to see my dear and fawn when I pull into the driveway each night. It's a bunch of work getting it all up but I just love it so much!!!

View from work

The view at work has been spectacular lately. I'm so lucky to have a view like this at work!

2nd Thanksgiving at the Lake House

We sent our first holiday dinner at the Lake House and we all had a wonderful time. The house was big and spacious and it never felt crowded. We are going to have so many wonderful memories in this house, I know it!

Happy Thanksgiving

We hosted Thanksgiving this year with all the Moffatt's and we were are all stuffed like pigs ;) It was a wonderful day with family. pics

She can ride her bike!

Today Curtis and I took Zoey down the Cedar River trail and she road her bike about 5 miles on the third day of riding her bike! We are both so impressed with her and can't believe how she has taken off with biking. She wanted to keep riding but Curtis and I were the one's that were tired out and hungry and ready for lunch ;) Fabulous day!

Hunting in Alaska

Curtis went hunting in Alaska for 10 day's with Calvin, Calvin's mom and Dan. They had a good time but Calvin was the only on that got a deer and it was on the first day of hunting out of 5. Curtis was disappointed but I can tell it was an experience he enjoyed immensely. Us on the hand missed him tons, especially Zoey. She asked daily how many more day's till daddy is back. Still a daddy's girl ;)  pictures

Go Hawks

Got to take Monique to the game today for her first one! She was excited to experience the excitement of a football game and we had a good time together. It was a cold game though...thank goodness for hand and foot warmers. GO HAWKS!!!

Happy Veteran's Day

I'm so proud of my handsome husband for being a Marine and serving our country. I wanted to decorate for him even though he's off hunting in Alaska. Love you baby!
