A couple days after Christmas we took my family on Everlong for a winter cruise through Lake Union and to Ivars for dinner. We lucked out and got beautiful weather. It was a near perfect day together!
Layla’s friend, Millie, joined us
We had a great Christmas together!
We had a Merry Christmas Eve! It was fun celebrating without the house under construction this year, although Nana was down with the flu and couldn’t come. We did all our regular traditions, played lots of games and enjoyed being together.

In mid-December an atmospheric river brought significant flooding and much excitement to the Snoqualmie Valley. I’ll let the pictures tell the story. Jonathan got some great aerial shots with his drone, which got featured on the news.

Snoqualmie Middle School was on an island. The water came right up to the sandbags but did not come in the building
Once it was safe, we took the kids to go see the Falls and downtown
