I just love our tradition of decorating for Christmas the day after Thanksgiving!

Christmas tubs inside…ready…go
Another tradition – visiting Seattle at Christmas time!

Taking the monorail

Sitting by a tree at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel

The Teddy Bear Suite

The Fairmont Olympic is so beautiful at Christmas!

I love how beautiful this place is at Christmas!

Walking through Pacific Place

Pike’s Market was SO CROWDED, but of course we had to check it out!

Tom was playing the piano at the end of the service, so the girls and I ran to get our tree. It was an adventure. We ednded up at Fred Meyer. They put it on the car for me since I couldn’t lift anything yet after having surgery 4 days earlier. I tied it down and the girls held on to the string. We made it home with the tree still on the car!

Decorating the tree

I just love how easy our outside lights are!!

We walked through Bethlehem one evening. Discovery Baptist Church in Gig Harbor does such a great job of portraying the entire Christmas story.
