Christmas Eve: The Longest Night of the Year for Kids

With the threat of snow in the forecast, David's parents considered not making the trek to Seattle and we're so glad they decided to take the train up! We all actually made it to in-person church on Christmas Eve, a service that is led by the 5th graders at our church, so we got to see Parker practice taking on a leadership role in the church. He did great! And of course, the boys baked cookies for Santa with David, as is the tradition in our house. Then the kids were nestled all snug in their beds while visions of sugarplums (or Santa) danced in their heads.

Christmas Puzzling

The puzzle was supposed to be for the kids to do, but I didn't mind a bit of Christmas puzzle time with my buddy, Conway, and a cocktail - it's a pretty good time!

We Got a Christmas Tree!


December means going to Trinity Tree Farm in Issaquah and bringing home the perfect tree. We picked out the tree, watched the machine shake off all the loose needles, ran around the farm, did tree yoga poses, and enjoyed hot cocoa and cookies. Even in the rain, it felt pretty successful!

David & Parker's Kraken Date


Parker was one happy kid when he got to go to his first Kraken ice hockey game. Riding there on the bus? Yes! Live sports? Yes! One-on-one time with his papa? YES!


Mustache Man


Not sure what to say about this. Monroe wanted a mustache, so he made himself one out of paper and tape?? I guess the kid is resourceful.
