Fantasy Lights

On Saturday night Corey, Terrell & Nova went to Fantasy Lights in Spanaway.  Here is her write up & pics.

We went to Fantasy Lights tonight! I’ve never heard of it before but it’s a big light display you drive through in Spanaway Park. Nova loved it! It was really fun and there were so many lights and other cars there. I didn’t get too many good pictures because we were moving most of the time. We would definitely go again next year!

Christmas!

We had a great Christmas this year! The kids came over in the morning, we opened presents then had brunch and played some games.  Nova loved the pizza kitchen and toddler bike we got her.  She was making everyone pizzas and riding around the house!  I think everyone was happy with their gifts.  I felt really spoiled with all the presents I received.  It was so special that we got to spend time with all the kids!  I didn't get pictures of all the presents, but I got a few. 

We started with stockings. There were lots of candy, gift cards, some scratch lottery tickets (the kids won $8!), hot sauce, spice rub, a metal toy kit, pastry brush...etc)

Corey got Gabby this cute & funny sweatshirt. 

Gabby & Ethan got Corey a watercolors book & paint.

Gabby and Ethan got me an afternoon tea!

Gabby & Ethan got Nova this cute dragon costume.

Harvey got this cute fish & Rosie got new balls.

Corey got me these super cute bee cups! I'm excited to put them in her herb garden!

The little bike we got Nova. It was hard to assemble!

Pictures from Christmas morning at their house before they came over. Nova liked this little chair!

Day in Seattle

Kind of a last-minute decision to go up to Seattle on Sunday, but glad we were able to continue our holiday tradition of viewing the Gingerbread House display at the Sheraton Hotel.  None of us knew the theme for this year, so it was a pleasant surprise.  This year's theme was travel and there were 4 displays of different cities around the world. Mine & Scott's favorite was London while Terrell, Gabby & Corey all liked Syndey the best.  Again, I wish they would not have moved them into the dark room; I miss the days when they were in the brightly lit lobby, and we could walk around and see them from all sides!  Oh well, at least we arrived early enough to avoid the huge line that accumulated after we were done. 

We parked at Seattle Center and rode the monorail (so fun!) to the hotel & back. Then we spent some time checking out the huge winter display in the Armory.  Nova was fascinated with the train that circled the Christmas village.  We hung out and ate some food while listening to some live music.  It really got us into the holiday spirit! Can't believe Christmas is just a few days away!

On the monorail!

Lunch at the Armory. Nova ate almost that entire waffle!

Ethan didn't get to come with us because he was working, but later that night they decorated their Xmas beach house! It turned out super cute.
