Back from Christmas Vacation

Hello Readers,

Sorry it has been so long since my last post, but I have been having way too much fun in Seattle to sit down and write a post...so here I go.

Hannah and I arrived in Seattle a couple days before Caleb, so we got to spend some extra time with Kim and Ben. Luckily for us, it snowed the second day we were there so Kim and Ben stayed home from work and we all played. We walked to Starbucks (of course) and had some tasty warm beverages and sat by the fire.

As you can see, it was snowing pretty hard, with pretty big flakes. This doesn't happen very often in Seattle!

This is what Hannah looked like when we got there. I think the snow baffled her.

Here's Hannah and Kim at Starbucks playing.

Then we watched some kids sled at the park. Kim decided to join in.



Caleb arrived that evening, making it out just before the big snow storm in Boston and just after they were able to clear most everything up in Seattle. Praise the Lord!!

Then next day we left for La Grande. But first we stopped to hang out with Ben & Hannah and Family in Wapato (near Yakima). We had a great time catching up with them and meeting their 9 month old son, Samuel. This was a great place to stop logistically because Hannah napped most of the car ride to Wapato, and then the next day napped most of the drive to La Grande.

In La Grande we mainly hung out with Caleb's fam. Hannah also had some fun getting re-aquainted with her 2 cousins Joe & Judah. It appears as if I didn't take as many pictures as I would have liked. Here's a cute one of Titus, Judah & Joe.




And here's one of Hannah and Great-Grandpa Pratt sleeping. Grandpa Pratt graciously watched Hannah while some of us went out caroling.



We arrived back in Seattle on Christmas Eve, and so much delight, we had a white Christmas. WE spent Christmas day hanging out with my parents and Kim & Ben. Mom & Dad found some old school sleds and we went sledding at the park. It was great fun. All in all, we had a wonderful Christmas time and are truly blessed to have such a wonderful family.
