Snowy Day in Seattle

It's Graham's first snow experience! We walked to the playground to see our neighbors celebrating the snow:) There was a giant snowman! And children sledding with their parents! And a puppy chasing a tennis ball;)





On closer inspection, it was a giant snowman and it's baby...


Do you see the hill in the background? That's where all the sledding action takes place! Conveniently there is a staircase right there which makes transporting your sled uphill much easier!


"Sled smarter, not harder."





Graham: "I want to go sledding..."


Daddy: "I want to go sledding..."


Next year, guys. That abandoned blue tobaggon or whatever it's called was tempting us...



"I guess I'll just go skating instead."







One last view of the snowy field and rooftops before we head home. Puppy Power is still chasing the ball down there.




Would you have grabbed the abandoned blue tobaggon and taken it for a run down the hill?
I thought so...

The Christmas Ships Came Sailing In


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 Willow
I 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,
Suzanne
