Picking out the perfect tree
All decorated. Pictures do not do justice. It is 12ft. tall and very wide and a lot prettier than the picture turned out.

We joined Tim's brother and family for a night in downtown Seattle. We stayed at a hotel downtown and went and saw all the Christmas sites! The windowsill made a great "Stage" for the programs the kids put on for us.
Riding the Christmas Carousel that they set up just for Christmas each year.
The kids and their cousins
Having a Hot Chocolate break
The kids each wrote a letter to Santa and mailed it at Macy's
Back to the hotel where the kids exchanged gifts.
Our Family in the hotel lobby
We woke up to snow and when we got home the kids took advantage of the white fluffy stuff outside!
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year I will post again after the holidays!
