George gets the award for kid most excited for Christmas this year and his Christmas Social earlier today takes the cake!
He's been walking around with the invitation to his party in hand for more than a week now and asks us to read through the program multiple times a day. He was so excited to perform their three songs (Red, Red Hat, 5 Little Gingerbread, and Silent Night) and decided to wear his suit 😍 In addition, Daddy, Grandma, Grandpa, and Mamie joined us which made it extra special for our little star!
Here are pictures and video from his big day:

A surprise Santa visit was a highlight
Opening his gift (a Christmas book) from Mrs Rowe
Telling Santa exactly what he wanted and being sure Santa knew he lived in Issaquah
George is the most spirited, goofy boy I know; having the privilege to be his Mom and see the world through his eyes is a gift beyond my wildest dreams.
No doubt he will remember this much-anticipated day for years to come 🌟
I knew this would be a hard post to write, so I've been putting it off. On Monday morning, we said goodbye to Minnie. After months of weight loss I brought her into the vet early this week. I had been noticing the weight loss, but it wasn't until a few weeks ago that I started to see how skinny and malnourished she was getting. The vet determined she was suffering from late-stage hyperthyroidism and her kidneys were shutting down. It was a painful assessment; why I didn't notice it earlier and help her? That thought still haunts me. But at 11am on Monday morning, through a mountain of tears, regret, and sorrow, I bid farewell to the most loyal friend I've ever known. Minnie, You were the first piece to my "own" family. I remember vividly the day I got you. It was my 21st birthday and Rebecca and Steph came over bearing a gift (more specifically, a brown grocery bag). I opened it and looked inside; there you were,...
Happy Birthday, Kevin! We spent an awesome 4 days on Lake Wenatchee this past weekend; relaxing by the lake, (attempting) to fish, playing in the water, and enjoying quality time together as a family. Our parents joined us on Saturday afternoon to celebrate Kevin's birthday; a wonderful day full of family, food, and the great outdoors. Weekend highlights include Fish Lake on Friday (Abigail and i will not be invited back for the next fishing adventure...we may have mangled the line more than once), a trip into Leavenworth for pizza and dancing at the gazebo, a steak feast for Kevin's birthday, and relaxing by the bonfire that evening. Here are some pictures of our trip. Friday at Fish Lake "helping" Dad with his tackle While Kevin fished, Abigail and I fed Parmesan garlic pita chips to the ducks. At one point, we had a crowd of 10! Ladies of leisure on the lake :) This sums up our fishing experience... Thursday evening f...
