More December Photos

In the second 1/2 of the month, we had other fun adventures besides just Christmas.  Here are some photos to capture those events:

It snowed!  The snow lasted for about 10 hours, but long enough to get the boots on, the sled out, and build a snowman






Nathan came over from Paris just to make Superhero costumers with Oliver and Ruby…


So strong!

Ruby is such a sweet girl.  Tucking her her babies into bed

Ruby couldn't wait to go next door and see Mallory


Oliver, Ruby, and Victoria in matching pjs (don't worry - Victoria is a doll)

Sleep time

The weekend before Christmas - the James, Dunfield, and Genzale families came over for brunch.  4 families and 12 kids…and it wasn't too crazy…imagine that.

Oliver and Dad on a hike and geocaching adventure in the Watershed Park

The Johnson family came up to Seattle for the holidays and is going to Suncadia with us for New Years.  Here are a few photos captured while staying with us.








Great Wolf Lodge

We went to the Great Wolf Lodge this past weekend and everyone had a blast - both kids and adults.  The watersides were a blast and Oliver wants to go back for sure.

Libby reading to the three boys before bedtime

Here are the kids posing before we left the lodge…they weren't too happy to be leaving.

Below is just one example of a ride we went on over the weekend - the Howlin Tornado!

Christmas

Christmas was very fun this year because we got to celebrate with Baby Mallory!
Here are a few pics from Christmas Day.

Oliver and daddy building the marble contraption...

Grammy reading a new book to the kids

We woke up to a domino maze that Santa built the night before…it wend all the way from the bathroom in the hallway to the stockings...

When Oliver pushed the domino train down, it revealed a balancing scale that Santa got Oliver as well.  
5000 packs of Dominos and a Balancing scale is what Oliver asked for

Ruby huggin her new pooh bear



A new life-size dolly…so fun

Now hugging her cousin

And pointing to cool toys
