Christmas 2018 Memories

This Christmas season was probably one of the most fun and magical we've had yet since our boys are at such wonderful ages.  They both fully believe in Santa and all the magic of the holiday season and of course they were super in to all our traditions and fun activities of the season.  I know the window for them believing is limited so we are soaking it up as much as possible.

Here were some of our favorite memories from the Christmas season starting with the weekend after Thanksgiving:

Black Friday spent downtown with Nana and Pops visiting the train at Macy's, riding the carousel, starting Christmas shopping and visiting the gingerbread houses at the Sheraton

Annual trip to Molbaks to see the poinsettias with Nana & Pops

Visited Santa and had dinner with Gramma and Grampa & Nana and Pops

This year's turned out with lots of smiles!

Got our Christmas Tree at our favorite place: Keith & Scott Tree Farm in North Bend

The boys were in our church's children's Christmas play. Nathan even had a speaking part as the character "Little Billy."  And Cameron was a shepherd...finally after many years of being a sheep.

Got to see the Lion King Broadway musical at the Paramount!

Our favorite Christmas tradition: riding the Santa Train from North Bend to Snoqualmie.  Freshly baked cookies and hot cocoa, visiting Santa, and dinner at North Bend Bar & Grill

What a busy and fun-filled season it was!  I love looking back on all the memories and moments.  So grateful for family and the chance to celebrate and reflect on our most meaningful and important gifts.
