Every month, a few museums in Seattle (and Tacoma) open their doors to visitors for free! With the ages of our girls, I love this, as we don’t usually stay for very long. It’s a bit crowded, but it’s free, so no complaints from us. Since this day is always a Thursday, we don’t have many opportunities to take advantage of it because of school and AWANA. So when the first Thursday of the month fell on a vacation day, we headed up to Seattle! We hit 3 museums and a Conservatory – The Seattle Asian Art Museum, Volunteer Park Conservatory, The Museum of History and Industry and The Museum of Flight. Lots of walking, but like I said, we just kind of walk through and look. 🙂 (more…)

I can’t believe it’s already New Year’s Eve – aka Sage’s favorite day of the year (because she eats a bunch of yummy food, watches movies and gets to stay up really late). We had a few playdates during the day and then enjoyed our usual tradition of appetizers and caramel fondu for dinner/snacks. (more…)

I get comments all the time about having all girls. This was one of those times and I loved every minute of it! We loved it so much we made an appointment for Tom to enjoy one on his next day off!!

We were given 3 tickets at the last minute for a performance of The Nutcracker at McCaw Hall on December 27th. Tom wanted Sage, Molly and I to go so he stayed home with Ashley and ate crab (Ashley’s request), watched movies and played. The only problem was that Sage and Molly were starting their swimming lessons at 4 pm that same day. We decided to rush as fast as we could and do both, even if it meant we were late. Swimming lessons went great and they LOVED being in the pool again. (Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for this!!)
Sage was so excited. She’s been asking to take swim lessons for months!
Ready to go . . . but will she put her face in the water? (YES!!!!)

New jammies for the girls and their dolls
After a busy month, Christmas morning was finally here. We only had a short time with Tom before he had to go to work, but had a relaxing morning full of presents, food and even a nap for Tom. We spent time in the afternoon watching “The Nativity” and talking about Jesus’ birth and the gift He gave us so many years ago when He came to earth as a baby and then what He did for us on the cross. I loved hearing the girls questions and comments during our discussion and the movie as they are all at such different levels of understanding. (more…)

Footprints in the snow
It’s the last day of school for the year, Christmas parties planned . . . and then a 6 am call from the school that there is a 2 hour delay. Fast forward an hour and a half and another call – school is cancelled because of snow. It was only an inch, but we’ll take it! (more…)
