First we stayed in Olympia/Lake Stevens

For our Christmas break we flew in and out of Seattle. It gave us a chance to spend a little time with Dave and Chris and their families. We had so much fun seeing them and the kids and were really grateful to mom and dad for letting us use their car the whole break.

We went to Sophia's preschool Christmas sing along.

 Ella was clearly thrilled to be there.

 But Ella quickly fell for Mitch and he was her favorite the rest of the day.

 For some reason Landon was being shy and didn't want to be in the picture. So Dave got him anyway.

 After being in Olympia for a day we drove up to Lake Stevens and spent a day there.

 Mitch is Noah's best friend.

 Since they were going to Idaho for Christmas they had a little Christmas morning for Noah.

 We got to see him open the cars we got him from Disney World!

We're so grateful we were able to see some of Mitch's family before Christmas. We were sad to miss Jared and his family and wish we could have joined them for Brooklyn's baptism. But we'll take what we can get!
