Seattle Christmas

 The kids and I headed up to Seattle with Aunt Sarah in tow a week earlier than Brannon.  This was so .  .  .

 we could be pampered,
 ride around the track in Grandpa's front yard with Uncle Kyle for hours every morning,
 hang out with cousin Keaton,


 be told custom bed time stories for hours by Buelo and Buela,
 receive fun surprises,
 get LOTS of attention,
and head to "The Lights of Christmas" at Warm Beach, with the whole Hawkins clan and the Garcias.  It began to feel a lot like Christmas (cause, no offense Cali, but ya just don't get in the spirit like "Christmas in the Northwest (hahahahaha)).
 Quick stop at Red Robin to get some killer ranch dip (they just don't make it that good other places!)
 Naya and Belize REUNITE!




 Nana leads the masses.

 They called this, "Pony" rides.  Pretty sure that's the biggest pony I have ever seen.

 Rio was NOT a fan of Bruce the talking Spruce but the girls thought he was hilarious.
 Ashley, Belize, Alicia, Sarah, Mom and what are you doing Chaz?
 
Uncle Darren did a good job of keeping Mayan snuggly warm.

Belize got to pick out one of Alicia's old dance costumes- she was in HEAVEN!!!

Warmer days

My dear friend, Kristen sent me these pictures taken last summer that were floating around her computer.  What sweet memories!
