Christmas blessings

This is the second year we have had the privelege of going to my parents for Christmas and neither were planned..Last year we came down because Dad was in the hospital with blood clots and this year Mom was recovering from pneumonia. I think they plan it that way...We love going down though cause we get spoiled with love and really good food... 





This year has been a hard one for us as a family with Peter going in and out of jobs and then nothing..And even though it has been hard, we have never been as blessed..We have great friends and family who have shown their love to us in multiple ways especially at Christmas Time..We just want to say Thanks..

Christmas Tree time

 Yep...the tree is always in the same spot..Must be the only spot that works..We headed to our favorite Christmas Tree Farm..Home Depot...With the help of all the family the decorating took about 5 minutes..

This is how Alex and Anna-Maria felt about the whole experience...

A day Downtown Seattle

 Since the kids had a couple of days off for Parent/Teacher conferences we got to spend the day as a family...Off to Seattle we go..I have never done the Christmas displays downtown because of work but I really enjoyed them this  year..First was the Sheraton for their annual Gingerbread houses...
 so yummy looking..just want to rip off a piece..They won't notice..
 Next we headed to the Fairmont Hotel for the Teddybear Suite..So many bears in one small place..even the bathroom had them on the floor, in the sink, etc..

 Pike's Market is always an adventure..always crowded and fun...
Santa delivers everything on the list right?
