We just got back from a lovely visit with John's Sister's
in Seattle. We love visiting his family,
it is always such an enjoyable experience.
|
Ava was is heaven having all her cousins doting on her. |
|
She got to decorate a crazy amount of cookies, the girl loves her sprinkles : ) |
|
Check out that view out their dining room window! |
|
Tommy |
|
Karli even came home from college for the weekend to join in the fun. |
|
We were most excited to see Brianna. We are so impressed at her amazing recovery following her recent horrific car accident. We feel very blessed to have her alive and well. |
|
Celia's home is so warm & welcoming. I love all the beautiful Christmas decor. |
|
Karl's friend paddle boarding with his dog on the lake. |
|
This girl was CRAZY the whole trip. I think she lost her mind somewhere between having so many people spoil her, endless amounts of sugar and her natural love of being defiant. |
|

|
Norah really liked Tommy. She also thought his water dish was great fun! |
|
We bundled up and went to 3 of Kole's Lacrosse games. |
|
John playing peek a boo behind Anne with Norah. |

Ava & Erik |
|
Silly goose. |
|
Kole, the Lacrosse super star. |
After the game we went to the mall to see "Snowflake Lane"
which was a fun Christmas themed parade for Ava.
It was beyond crazy, traffic, parking issues, then so many
people you couldn't actually see anything.
We decided bail & make a run for it even though Ava
was in tears saying she didn't get to see the princesses.
I thought the whole thing was a complete
failure until we headed to the elevator and ran right into
exactly the people Ava was trying to see in the parade!
|
She got to meet two princesses! |
|
She even got to hold one of their wands! |
|
Ava was super happy! Success!! |
|
Afterward we went home and had a nice dinner with the whole family. |
|
On our way out of town we went to our 3rd Lacrosse game. |
It was super cold outside but it's really fun watching Kole play!
|
Beautiful Celia holding Norah |
|
Kate : ) |
|
She is so good with the kids! |
|
We had such a great trip. We really need to make it to Seattle more often! |
Thank you Celia & Karl for your wonderful hospitality!
We love you ALL so much!!
