Christmas 2015

It's tradition that we go to Yakima for the holidays. Christmas Eve is always spent at Nick's grandma's house. We do some gift opening there, and have a good meal with the family. Christmas morning is always spent at Harry and Diane's house. We open gifts, and are treated to a big breakfast feast. After that, it's back to grandma's house to hang out and eat another amazing dinner. Pictures of the weekend are here:

It's a tradition Jamie's mom did with her girls, and will be passed down.


Harry and Diane got a unique real tree this year


We love spending time with the girls together!


Skyler is teething and chews on everything, including her own hand


Ava found her old Bumbo chair that she let Skyler borrow. She was pretty excited to see it again.

Christmas Preparations

We are busy getting ready for the holidays!

Playing with Christmas lights






Skyler's first Christmas tree


I had fun with our Christmas tags this year... I cut out pictures of Skyler with the person who the present is for. Here's a present for her great grandma.


Present to grandpa from Sky


Present for cousin Ava from Sky


Another present for Ava from Sky


More for Ava


Bowling holiday party for Jamie's work. Brag session... scored a 214 on the first game she bowled (and hadn't bowled since the last Christmas party). She's the 3rd line down. Woop woop!


Day care was closed for 2 weeks, week of Christmas and after. Look who had to come to work with mommy for a bit. I think she's figured out what to do... after she woke up from her nap. 


We were treated to a showing of some deer, grazing on the back of our hotel property.
