Holiday cheer

In December we did many fun holiday activities to celebrate the season. I love this time of year and it was especially fun this year getting to share it all with Aidan. We had our annual Seattle trip with David's family where we met up downtown, took the monorail to Westlake Center. We then rode on the holiday carousel, saw the gingerbread houses at the Sheraton, window shopped, saw Santa (Aidan slept through this in the carrier which is why we don't have a picture of him and Santa) and had delicious hot chocolate. We had a great time and were lucky enough to get a nice warm winter night. Unfortunately though, we forgot our camera.

We went and met up with some friends at Carkeek Park to see the Christmas ships. They stop in the water in front of the beach and project the singing of the choir on board for all to hear on land. It was really fun and the choir was great. We plan on making this a holiday tradition.
Another fun thing we did was go to see the live reindeer at Swanson's nursery. Here are a few cute pictures from that outing.
