Longview Christmas

25 December 2009

We next headed to Longview for a Christmas with the Taft family. The girls couldn’t get enough of Lexi (the little dog) and fed her lots of treats and gave lots of cuddles.

Portland Christmas

24 December 2009

We headed to Portland for Christmas this year. It was lots of fun. Everyone spoiled the girls and they loved every minute of it.

The girls handed out the presents to everyone and really love all the gifts they got.

All the big kids were given snuggies this year, and this is the only partial group photo we took.

ice skating

11 December 2009

The girls and I headed down to enjoy the Seattle center winter festival today. We started out on the carousel and both girls enjoyed the ride. We then went into the center house and both girls took a turn operating the train. They set up a big model train and the kids can drive it. There was a junior high choir to listen to after all of that.

Then, on a whim, we decided to go ice skating. I knew they had walkers to help the kids on the ice, otherwise it might have been a bit much more than I alone could handle. The kids did great and Kayla skated by herself (with the help of the walker) and julia tried it alone briefly, but seemed to have more fun with my help too. It was a really nice outing.
