christmas time is here...

Thanksgiving has passed and left our bellies full. We had dinner at home this year along with my parents and Jeff got to watch football all day so everyone was happy. 

Right after Thanksgiving we visited the tree farm out in Woodinville and thankfully found our tree after only five minutes of searching. The rain was coming down and no one wanted to stand out in it for too long but we found a great one and thankfully it fit all of our ornaments. We also took the train in Snoqualmie with our friends the Porter's to go and visit Santa. Ethan made sure to let him know that he wanted a climbing Spider Man and Ninjago lego's. 

 

i'll take a butter beer please...

Jeff and I recently returned from a trip to the sunny land of Florida. This was our annual trip that we get to be adults for a brief period without having to ask for the kids menu and enjoying dinner and food outside of Red Robin.

We were fortunate enough to be able to go to Orlando aka land of theme parks and had told Ethan that we were going to "Florida". Thankfully he was not able to put the two together that we were going to the home of Mickey Mouse.

Since we had just gone to Disneyland in October we purposely chose to visit the parks that Ethan would not be able to go to or would have limited rides available, that way we felt less guilty about not bringing him. Some of our stops were Sea world, and Universal Studios, specifically the Harry Potter world. Thank goodness my coworker had warned me to take motion sickness medicine before venturing the park. I think I would have died on the castle ride without it. I have never experienced a ride like this in my life but thankfully with the help of medicine I was able to enjoy it. Some of my cohorts were not so lucky but I highly recommend you go on it at least once while there. Plus, the butter beer is the bomb. I actually ended up liking the non frozen version and had to have a least two.

happy halloween...

 

 

From our family to yours we hope you all had a safe halloween. Don't worry, we have your back (except lazy batman).
