There are always so many fun things to do each Christmas season, and never enough time to do them.  This year, we decided to stay in downtown Seattle overnight so we could enjoy all the wonderful things there are to do there and not have to drive up a bunch of times. ...

Let me just say that the amount of leaves in our yard is out of control!!  I can’t even see the back yard (which I’m OK with since it’s only half landscaped) and the front side yard has a covering a few inches high.  Molly and Ashley were so excited to jump in piles...

This was a busy week with Sage’s birthday!  She turned 7 on Tuesday and started off the day by waking up around 5:45 because she was so excited to open presents!  After Molly and Ashley got up, she opened some of them and then enjoyed some yummy cinnamon scones for...
