Christmas, 2018

Happy Holidays - I hope yours were filled with all your favorite people and traditions!





We spent Christmas Eve with Uncle Mike and Uncle Kent (Mamie and Papa spent Christmas in NJ this year), did the usual 5am Santa waking Christmas morning, then spent the remainder of the week in Leavenworth, celebrating with my family.  As a bonus, we had a few friends visiting Leavenworth on the 26th, so we met them at Red Tail Canyon Farm for a sleigh ride followed by drinks in town and sledding at the house the next day!

Here are some pictures from our week:

Holiday HH made easier 😉

Hope this finds you well and enjoying the remaining holiday season!

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,...

Lake Wenatchee

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...
