Christmas in Seattle

A couple of weeks ago we went to Seattle with Jesse and Kandy and thier kids. It was a lot of fun - we spent time at Pacific Place, Pike Place and tried to go to the Gingerbread House exhibit, but the line was WAY too long, and even went on the carousel. Anyway, it was great to spend time with them and get down to Seattle.

Weaver Gift Exchange

It really is the Christmas season now: each year during the Holidays the Weaver family hosts an annual gift exchange where we meet at a mall, draw names from a hat and have to find a gift for the person whose name we drew for under $5. It is always a lot of fun and it means the season for giving has started!

Clam Lights at Coulon Beach

Every year down at Coulon, Ivars and Kidd Valley light up the park with lots of festive lights and decorations. It is really neat to see and Ellis really liked all the lights.

Christmas Fun!

Santa Pictures

While in Utah, Kyla and I decided to get our Santa pics done this year with all the girls together. It turned out adorable - plus it was half the cost! :)

Thanksgiving Week

So during the week of Thanksgiving we took a trip to Utah to visit my family and our friends the Stevens. It was mucho fun! The first part of the trip we drove to Fredonia, AZ to see my grandma and uncles. It was good to see them but the trip was LONG (five hours from SLC) and there isn't much to see in Fredonia. But we did have a nice visit with my family.

For the rest of the week, we headed up to Provo to visit with Dan & Kyla and thier family. Kyla's parents let us stay at their house and it was a great visit. Very low key - but fun. Some highlights were: Kristen & Grayson's house, Thanksgiving Point, pony rides, petting zoo (we even milked a cow), Pure Luck (just ask Loni), Temple Square, hanging out talking, etc. The two low points of the trip were: The Pie (for you, Dan) YUCK! and Cloverfield. :) It was one of the funnest trips we have had. For Thanksgiving we headed to Loni's cousins house - it was great to see all of them. We headed out on Friday but left with lots of memories and miss Dan and Kyla already. All of the friends need to plan a get together for all of us to meet up with all of our kids, etc - that would be great!
