Thanksgiving, Odessa's baptism and Christmas

These are out of order and way overdue, but I got them on at least- finally!  Supposed to be cleaning out the computer room, so you can see why I would rather do this.
Odessa's birthday party was at the School of Acrobatics and New Circus Arts.  Pretty fun!  Here she is trying out the trapeze
Big 8th birthday!

She chose to be baptized in the LDS church because she is old enough now.  Stephen baptized her.

So glad both sets of grandparents and my sister and her family were here for the baptism and Thanksgiving!

Playing in the little snow on our Christmas tree hunt

We bagged a nice one!


Turkey! 

Cousins table!


Snowflake lane in Bellevue is fun but CRAZY the day after Thanksgiving

Christmas ships- they broadcast caroling from the ships and sail around the lakes and pull up to docks and beaches- super fun Seattle tradition we finally got in on this year



One morning of snow- they made the most of it!

late arrival for school and Stephen was off work anyway!

Christmas Eve with the Romneys- so cute
After Santa had been here, twinkling affect by my new smart phone.  Awsome

Point No Point- loved this place!  Went on a little hike after the New Year


love this view, coming in at night on the ferry

Been saving up for Glow Pets all year.  Turns out they want to sneakily read in the dark with them!  Santa didn't know . . . 

Wool dress shirt- true story.  I backed Wool and Prince on Kickstarter

Wool sweater from Norway- and he got wool military pants for camping.  It was a woolly Christmas for Stephen!


Franklin got some trains for Christmas from Grandpa and Grandma Hunt

"School of Acrobatics and New Circus Arts"??? That sounds awesome!

Ummm . . . going through this post with Nathan and I looked at the clock in your twinkling picture. Were you up until 4 am, or did you get back up at 4 am????

It's either way too late, or way too early. But, certainly fun.

Yes Kim, it was cool. There are several trapeze schools and such thing around here, it's a strange Seattle thing.
Beth- I am pretty sure it's 11:20, not 4am. lol We were in bed much earlier this year than most.
