Happy Birthday Emmit.
We love you very much.
You are the most kind , gentle and loving little boy.
You are also silly, fun and a bit wild.
Your smile is contagious and melts my heart each and every time.
To the moon and back is how much we love you.

Long Winter Nap

Then finally it was time for a nap.

Parade

The festive weekend continues with a parade .

Holiday Season

It's been a festive weekend.
Started with a downtown tree light.

I want a ...

Hands down best Santa in Skagit Valley!
Emmit told him a lot of things he wanted. Basically he is almost 4 and wants EVERYTHING.
Grace froze up a little this year and told him that she did not know. She later told me that she already sent her list to Santa in school, so she is covered.

The magic and spirit of Santa is still very much alive in my kids. I hope they truly believe ALWAYS!

The Tree

It was as if we were in a episode of "The Bernstein Bears". We were all kind to each other out on a family adventure in the woods. OK so maybe we were not in the real woods. We went to the Berry Barn only 1.5 miles away from our front door, but it felt like we were in bear country.
And we also had to give a MAJOR pep talk to both kids before we left for the tree hunt. You know the typical "Santa is watching you talk".
Regardless it all worked out and we found the tree and it was a EXCELLENT family adventure.

Grandpa Playdate

First thing Emmit said this morning was that he gets a playdate with grandpa today.
Love these two.
Love these two together.

Drop The Puck

So we spent turkey day in the Tri Cities with The family. No pictures of turkey day. Too busy drinking and eating I guess!
Friday night Grandma Laurie took the crew to a tri cities American hockey game.
It was loud.
It was fun.
It was Eastern Washington all the way. (chances are I am in trouble for writing that last part)
The kids loved it.
We are fans.
Emmit wants to be a hockey player and wants to be on the team when he is 17.

Play Date

Grace had a play date with her friend Frankie today so as you could imagine this was the worst news ever for Emmit.
No play date organized for him.
Until it was proposed he have a play date with his mom and dad.

Asked him what he wanted to do and he told us he wanted to go hike in the woods.
So that was what we did.
