Christmas 2011 Part 1


After weeks of looking for my camera cord, I decided to call Sony and buy a new one. Grrr! But now I can start posting again. Christmas has been long gone but here's our trip to the northwest Part 1.
Flying out at night and landing in Spokane at midnight was exceptionally perfect planning. The boys were mellow and were happy to watch CARS on the dvd player and then fell asleep for the last hour.

Oma and Opa's house for 5 days with Boston family.
The boys were so happy to see their Boston cousins. Kate(6) was a big girl and helped with the boys by reading to them before nap.

Walking Oma and Opa's property was a daily activity. It was cold but no snow! Went to the barn, fed the chickens and threw out the compost.

Jenny's 40th Birthday celebration at a tea place with all the girls. So fun!

Deer spotting in their front yard. The cousins were so elated and had to see up close, the deer didn't mind at all.

Titus' 3rd birthday on Christmas Eve.
Enjoying gluten free chocolate cupcakes!

Ethan(2) poked and played with it.

Raife(10 months) not ready to have chocolate cake yet.

Oma sitting at the little kids table. There were 18 of us at times around the table so we had to make things work.

Christmas Eve shopping downtown Spokane. Nora and Jonas enjoying the bookstore while I perused for kids books.

"Ready, Set, Go!" Famous runner statues to represent a big race in Spokane, called Bloomsday.

I took Jonas and Nora on a walk to see downtown Spokane and ride the carousel while Chad and Matt watched a football game at a bar.

Making cookies for Santa and put out carrots for the reindeer.

Auntie Jenny reading The Advent Book to start of the Christmas Eve evening.

Then off to bed.

Christmas morning was a frenzy with 22 people in 1 room opening their stockings and presents. It was quite a sight!


Our little elves-Kate(6), Syd(9), Eli(6), Nora(4), Silas(2), and Titus(3)

Christmas afternoon, we packed up to leave for Canada...Part 2.
