Matthew and Santa

Matthew and Santa have always had a rocky relationship and it looked like this year was going to be no different.




And then he finally warmed up to jolly old St. Nicholas...

November 2009

Well this is going to be a short update and a short montage because we really don't have much to report and didn't take many photos in November. Sometimes no news is good news. I still can't believe that the month is gone and we're only 23 days away from Christmas. You wouldn't know it here by the weather. We've been dry for a few days now. It's a little chilly, but not a cloud in the sky. We had great view of the Olympic Mts., now covered in snow, as well as Mt. Rainier and the Cascades getting progressively whiter too. I was sorry that I didn't have a camera with me today.
We had a lovely Thanksgiving with friends. As you will see, Matthew and Tia are becoming quite the item. When they get together they truly are like two peas in a pod. It's a blast to watch. I sometimes wonder who's having more fun, them or us?
I had a great birthday. My wonderful husband surprised me with dinner at Canlis which has fantastic food and a breathtaking view of Lake Union. And you have to love a date night with no toddlers every once in a while. Thank you honey!!
Matthew is still a constant source of entertainment. His latest accomplishment is sleeping in a big boy bed (it's just a toddler bed, but nonetheless a step up). I love it!! One of my favorite things is being able to sneak in his room just before we go to bed and tuck him in and give him a kiss and a snuggle. A little hard to do over a crib rail. And I love hearing him open his bedroom door in the morning, pitter patter down the hall and then climb into bed with us. What a great thing!
I hope that you all are enjoying this Advent season. Enjoy the show......
