December at a Glance

My sister Jessica and her family came to Seattle after

Christmas and we went to Red Robin and had an enjoyable time with them.

I tried so hard to get a picture of Elle's excited face. This one is just as cute.

Zach, Jess, and Elle ... what a happy family.

For New Year's we partied at my friend Jeanne's house.

It was kid party so the count down was at 8:00pm,

but the kids were so happy we didn't have to leave until 10,

when they let it be known that they had reached the breaking point.

We danced and did karaoke. It was pretty wild.

Christmas Eve was also spent at Jeanne's house.

This is Jeremy as the donkey giving Mary a ride.

Joseph, who is Hudson in the middle,

would not cooperate and wear his costume. The nativity was

very entertaining that night.

We surprisingly had a White Christmas

this year and Jeremy all by himself

constructed this beautiful snowman.

This is Matt, Jeremy's younger bro, and Sam his new wife.

We got to see all of Jeremy's siblings this year and

we celebrated Christmas early on the 19th since

everyone was here for Matt's wedding.
