In no particular order...
1. Rudolph hunting!
1. Rudolph hunting!
This picture was taken on our last official Rudolph hunt of the season, December 23rd. This was an extra special night. Mike surprised the kids by pulling into Starbuck's to get them hot chocolates! We found 25 Rudolph's that night!
A new tradition at the end of our Rudolph hunts, only on pretty dry and not icy nights...

3. Paige earning over $100 to send to children in Ecuador by selling her artwork and by doing extra chores. One day she spent 4 hours raking and picking up leaves.
Here she is with her owl, rainbow, and kiwi pictures she sold to Daddy.
4. Jonah's favorite Christmas gift was a Spiderman toothbrush that has a suction cup at the bottom.
He attaches it to just about any smooth surface he can find, uses it to open and close drawers- it's a pretty cool tool. Jonah has been marveling at how well the elves made and painted the toothbrush. Who would have thought a toothbrush would top his list?!
5. Nana's elf hats.
Everyone in the family got an elf hat (made by Nana) to wear for Christmas. The kids got their hats soon after Thanksgiving and Jack has worn his hat for almost every hour of every day since. We have even caught him sleeping in it!
6. Seeing the lights.
For the second year in a row, we went to the lighting of the Clam Lights at Gene Coulon Beach Park.
We also took a trip to downtown Bellevue for their "Snowflake Lane" with Aunt Barb and Grandma. Drummers drummed, music played, characters (including Rudolph!) walked about, and (man-made) snow fell!
7. Of course spending time with our family and friends is here! We didn't forget you! But, we just don't have many pictures... and there are some of you who don't want the world to see you. We love you all!

Sounds like you had a great holiday season. I thought of your family singing Rodolph as we would drive around looking for lights. What fun hats to wear too!
