Hat Island...

Wow - what a busy week!! Our Christmas started last Friday when we left for my dad's house on Hat Island. We had a nice, relaxing 3 days with my dad, Suzanne, Solstice & Hildy (their dogs), my sister & Travis. We got to the Island about noon on Friday and spent the rest of the day relaxing, having a few drinks, eating a good dinner & watching a movie. It was SO nice to just relax & enjoy spending time as a family. On Saturday we relaxed more, golfed, opened Christmas presents & had a great steak & halibut dinner. The crab eaters even got to have a few fresh crabs!! It was beautiful on Saturday night so we got to sit on the deck & look out over the water for awhile. Sunday morning we got up, packed up our stuff & headed home. We were able to do a little shopping in Bellevue on our way home then we started the trek over the pass. My cousin Jennifer was home from Phoenix so we got to visit with her, her parents & her brother for a few hours at my Grandma's house when we got back on Sunday night.

Little Santa...

Dailey loves to wear her Santa hat & I must say that she looks pretty cute in it!! :) If you ask her what Santa says she says "ho ho" I can't believe how many things she is saying & how quickly she is growing up!

Farmers Christmas Party...

Last night was the Farmers Insurance Christmas party at Whistlin' Jacks Lodge on Chinook Pass. Travis was in Florida so it was sister, Justin & I that went. We had a great prime rib dinner then partied & danced the night away!! We are all paying for it today but we had a great time!

Bird houses...

Also on Saturday, Logan & Landon got to build bird houses at Knudson's. They had a great time & were so proud when they were done! They are giving them as Christmas gifts :)

Santa...

Yesterday we took Dailey to see Santa at Knudson's. To say the least - she didn't like it!

Christmas pictures...

I should have known better than to think that I could have taken good, quality pictures of Dailey by myself. I had big plans of getting her in her Christmas outfits (yes, plural) and sitting her by the tree - as you can see NOTHING went as planned. I don't know why I thought she would just sit & smile at me - she doesn't hold still for 1/2 a second!! :)

Plowing snow...

Here is a picture of Dailey helping Justin plow snow. She had so much fun & refused to get off. Justin finally made me take her when she fell asleep while he was plowing! :) She loves to do anything as long as she is with her dada.
