Holiday Season 2023 recap in photos

Another wonderful and magical holiday season is in the books!  This year was especially fun because we got to share the holidays with Ollie. Santa even left some fun things for him under the tree too.  ;) Here is a recap in photos:

Molbaks with Nana & Pops (and Ollie!) 
Sadly this was the last year as Molbaks is now closed. :(







Christmas Tree Farm






Santa Visit with Grandparents



Santa Train





Nutcracker





Christmas Cookies with Cousins







Christmas Eve








Christmas Day





A few other holiday traditions and events happened as well that I didn't have photos for such as James' and my annual trip to Bainbridge Island to do our Christmas shopping, driving around with the boys in their Pjs looking at Christmas lights in the neighborhood, get togethers with girlfriends for Megs, wrapping Christmas gifts late into the nights, and a relaxing winter break as a family after the holidays.

These holiday traditions are fully ingrained now as I think we've done most all of them since the boys were born or were very little. And these traditions never get boring and are still just as special. Every year we ask the boys if they still want to do these things and they emphatically say yes. I think they are very foundational memories for their childhoods.  And how special that grandparents and aunties/uncles and cousins are involved in many of them too.  And now it's fun to bring Ollie along to many of them! 

And now we're moving into 2024.  Can't wait to see what the year brings!
