Santa Claus is Coming to Town

The week of Christmas is finally here and the countdown is on!

To celebrate, we brought Abigail to meet Santa on Saturday afternoon.  The plan was to go to Nordstrom,  but they had a 4 HOUR wait (seriously?!), so we headed to Macy's.  Granted, Santa wasn't as impressive, but hey, she's 4 months old... it works  ;)

Santa was kinna grumpy....

Of course, it's not easy to get a picture of a 4 month old looking at the camera, but since it wasn't busy, the photographer was really nice and kept trying... then we finally settled on something like the above.

During this process Abigail's shoe slipped off, so I ran up to put it back on.  When I got up there I noticed a familiar smell... not a good one, if you know what I mean.  Since we were still taking her picture, I ignored it, but all I could think was "oh dear God...  please tell me she didn't poop on Santa."  Of course that would be an Abigail thing to do, but luckily she kept it in the diaper, and Santa's white gloves were none the wiser  ;)


After all was said and done, we changed her into something more comfy, then headed back out to enjoy the holiday cheer.  Maybe next year we'll get a hotel room for the night and make an event of it!

Do you have a special holiday traditions with your family?  Something you look forward to every year?  Please share!  I'm already brainstorming for next year  ;)

Oh and just for fun, here are a few pictures from this morning.  As always, it took about 50 shots to get one good one, but sometimes the outtakes are the best!





Merry Christmas Everyone!!

Love it!! Keep getting the Santa pics, and not only of Abigail, you and Kevin jump in too. We've done this every year (since 1970!) and it's so much fun to look back at all of the pictures!!

20 week ultrasound

Yesterday Kevin and I went to our 20 week ultrasound.  Everything looked great and the two questions still lingering in my mind were confirmed. 1) Yes, it's a boy! 2) Nope, I'm not having twins  :) I've heard it a million times: with each pregnancy you pop a little sooner, but when I was in maternity pants at 12 weeks, I thought surely there must be two in there... Here are some pictures, if you'd like to see. During George's 20 week ultrasound Kevin admitted he'd almost fallen asleep, so I will admit: I had a hard time staying awake this time  :) But we did get to see him in 4D ultrasound which we've never done before, so that was really cool. So fun! After our appointment we went to breakfast at Salish Lodge and took my first Month of Bumps picture. (cue shrills of excitement from everyone eager to see belly pics for the next 4 months!) Before taking the picture I (lovingly) assured Kevin that yes, we would be taking...

Merry Christmas!

May your day be Merry and Bright!

A Suburban NYE

We partied hard with neighbors for New Year's Eve this year, and it was perfect - no need to dress up, tackle crowds, or spend big bucks - add to that great friends who are also neighbors, and it's a win/win.
