We got a tree!

 Baby Annabelle came with us to help pick it out. It is ridiculously big (not the one pictured below) and makes the house smell like Christmas.

  So happy to have Scott and Doris here from Hong Kong.

The Nutcracker

 This was James' first time coming with us to the Nutcracker and I must say he did really well - we talked a lot about the story before we went but he kept asking me why they weren't talking.

 After we hung out and ate at the Center House we picked up Curt from work and walked to the Gingerbread house display at the Sheraton.

Last month catch-up

 I haven't been very good at blogging lately so here is some catch-up - last month we went to the Science Center twice, Ian and Curt went to a Seahawks game together, the boys and I went to see Frog and Toad at the Seattle Children's Theatre (they loved it and keep singing the songs), went to see the new Muppet movie which they also loved (me too), and got to spend a week of fun with Lisa's family who was in town from Austin for Thanksgiving.  Scott and Doris surprised everyone by flying in with baby Annabelle on Thanksgiving day so we were together with all of Curt's siblings but one sister (we missed you Julie!) - it was so great. I love that we get to see family during the holidays - can't wait for our Christmas visitors!
