On the night before Christmas Eve, we avoided the traffic and shopping frenzy, and ventured down to the closest beach, Matthews Beach on Lake Washington. To our surprise we heard rockin' Christmas tunes from a parade of ships & boats, coming our way!
We waved to the ships, decked in Christmas lights, as they anchored near the beach.
The main ship carried a small group of Christmas Carolers singing a capella to the folks outlining the shore. Beautiful songs, beautiful voices...
The Christmas Ship "parade" makes its rounds, singing to the small masses huddled near bonfires along Lake Washington's shoreline. Matthews Beach appeared to be the first on their tour. Now, they head southwest towards their final rendezvous at GasWorks Park on Lake Union.
We have been blessed with mild weather for Christmas. Blue skies at sunset make for gorgeous winter backdrops! Happy Daddy & Baby Big Boy!
I am in love with this picture enhanced by Instagram.
It is my newest obsession. I cropped, changed the lighting, and added a border to this one.
Mommy & Graham...
I absolutely adore this little guy.
Winter WillowI find the exposed trunks & branches stunning this time of year.
Another Instagram, but no lighting change. Gorgeous evening sky...
Merry Christmas from Chris, Graham, & me.
We wish you a restful and rejuvenating holiday season.
xoxo,
