Holiday Season 2022 Recap in Photos

What a fun and memorable holiday season we had this past year.  We did all our favorite traditions and just really tried to be present and soak up all the magic of the season--especially with the boys being at the fun ages they are.  

Molbaks with Nana & Pops

Christmas Tree

Santa Visit with Grandparents

Nathan's Choir Concert at Snoqualmie Tree Lighting Ceremony

We didn't get any photos, but James and I did our annual Christmas shopping trip to Bainbridge Island. We shopped our usual favorites like the bookstore, the toy store, outdoors store and the many gift shops.  We had lunch at Hitchcock and also enjoyed riding on the ferry. We topped the day off with dinner at The Met and a trip to Bellevue Square for last minute items. One of my favorite days every year!

Santa Train

Nutcracker Ballet with Gramma & Grampa (Pops and Nana were sick :( )

Christmas Cookies with Nana & Pops

We had some strange weather at this point--several inches of snow and then the temps dropped really low and then we had freezing rain and a sheet of ice everywhere outside--the streets, sidewalks, etc.  We were supposed to help do Urban Missions with our church, but that got cancelled. And Christmas Eve service got cancelled because of a power outage. Wild few days! It forced us to stay inside cozy though and relax and just wrap presents and hang out.

Christmas Eve

Christmas Morning

Santa and Mommy & Papa were very generous this year!  Santa brought an XBO, hover board and MLB game for the XBOX.  Mommy & Papa had fun giving books, art stuff and Lego sets. We also sent them on a scavenger hunt to find their new Apple Watches!

Christmas Day

As you can see....lots of great traditions and so much fun! We also changed things up a bit this year and went away on a vacation with the boys for winter break.  Look for that in its own post soon!
