More photos from Christmas...

While we were up in Seattle my parents and grandma drove over the pass and we actually got to see them again... yay! We met up with them over at my cousin Tyler's house. I can't believe we were all there. It's seriously been forever, over ten years forever since we've all been in the same place at once... so crazy and so wrong.

Seattle Snow...

It actually snowed while we were up in Seattle, well if you count the 15 minutes it snow flurried, the girls loved it regardless of its brief stay! As you can see...

Lizzie wanted hot chocolate, but of course she only took one sip, good thing Abbers was around to finish it off for her.

Christmas Day...

Yay, today is one of the first days were I actually feel like myself again. I mainly think it's because I'm off the pain killers... those things do really screwy things to my head and tummy. I really don't like it at all, plus coffee tastes so messed up on Vicodin (Ben says his migraine medicine does the same thing, go figure). So most of today has been spent playing catch-up on all of the things that have been neglected over the last couple weeks like laundry and everything online. So here are finally our pictures from Christmas morning up in Seattle, enjoy!

Abby's newest sidekick... Jessie!

If you look closely there is a huge littlest pet shop box under there... Christmas wouldn't be complete without one!

Princess Abby... she's suddenly obsessed about dress-up stuff.

This is what I got... I love it all.

And of course Ben got another nerf gun... would he really want anything else... nah!

Christmas Eve...

 So now that I'm back home and out of the hospital I can start catching up on this space, well as long as my belly button doesn't start throbbing anyways... but more on that later. Here our some pictures from our trip up to Seattle for Christmas, these were from Christmas Eve while we were all opening our stockings and ejoying each other's company.

Abbers with her most favorite person ever... Heidi!

Even Grandma Jean had some fun stuff in her stocking this year.

So the boys didn't mean to wear the same shirt, well at least I don't think so and apparently they didn't want their bellies to show in the picture, but instead we get this lovely expression!

Mabel doggie opening her stocking... she wasn't much into it, definitely nothing like Frtiz was, maybe she might be excited if we put some hot dogs in there!

Happy 3rd Birthday Abbers...

I seriously can't believe my youngest is now three. I'm so not use to it and even just told someone the other day she was 2 1/2... she's still my little baby! Abby has changed so much in the last year, she's talking like crazy now, super mischievous and absolutely loves to make people laugh... I wouldn't have her any other way! We love you Abbers and are so thankful we got to share your special day with family up in Seattle.

Disneyland or Bust...

The Thursday before Abby's birthday we went to Disneyland to celebrate... well really Disney California Adventure. We had our free tickets from volunteering earlier in the year and Abby wasn't yet three so off to Anaheim we went. Luckily for us Disney is pretty gracious and let us use our vouchers even though they had expired the day before... just one day, ugh and we thought we had until the end of the year. So after completely freaking out on the long drive there and waiting in line at the ticket booth we could finally breathe and relax.... thank you, thank you, thank you! We loved California Adventure. It has come leaps and bounds since I was there last time and so much more great stuff is in the works. It's way more family oriented, ride wise, than Disneyland and it felt like we could do pretty much everything all together as a family... the girls loved it. Too bad the new Toy Story 3 ride had a wait over an hour the whole day, oh well... guess we'll have to do a next time!

At California Adventure we watched a live performance of Playhouse Disney, did a little tour of the animation building... the turtle talk with Crush was pretty cool and got to see some really sweet Toy Story art.

 Along the boardwalk...

 After the Pixar parade they had bubble mania... I so wish Abby didn't fall asleep, she would have loved this!

 Daddy trying to win a bullseye doll... not so lucky, we both were horrible at it.

Watching the world of color. Whoever thought of the idea of using mist as a projector screen is brilliant!

And of course a trip to Disney wouldn't be complete without going to the Lego store.
