Here’s the rest of what our family was up to in December:
Dancing to Coldplay
Festive pedis
Avery’s Boy Scout troop made these snowmen as a fundraiser
Playing Uno
This girl loves shoes. She really loves stomping around in Mommy’s shoes too.
Look who joined in!
Jonathan and I went to see Ben Gibbard play at Washington Hall in Seattle
“Dear Daddy, from Silas. I am so sorry for saying, “can I have sausage balls over and over.” xoxoxoxo
Jonathan took the boys to see the new Star Wars movie while Grammy and I baked.
Grammy, Layla and I made divinity while the boys were at the show
We made a gingerbread house 
We went to the Bellevue Botanical Gardens to see the lights
Happy travelers
“All that flying makes me tired.”
The view from our first hotel wasn’t too shabby. We were perched right on Black Rock

Here comes the hula pie
Watching the international space station with Nana
Morning breakfast buffet at our first hotel. Couples and children under 3 eat for free. All others are $15 each, which means the boys got to eat donut holes in the room and play iPad while we dined with our littlest.
These two!
Mama couldn’t resist the mermaid suit at one of the local shops. Needless to say, Layla got a lot of attention in her new outfit (which she loved almost as much as I did)!
Beach Boys
Moving to The Marriott
Our Armada was a little full
At the pirate ship. We only spent a couple of hours here our whole vacation! Crazy how all of a sudden things change so significantly.
We let the big boys play at the beach while we stayed at the pool with the littles as long as they weren’t in the water without us there. Here’s a pic I took while spying on them. Look at what good boys they’re being!
This is the pool where Layla wanted to spend a lot of her time. It has multiple levels so she can walk out to where she feels safe swimming and then test herself. On the other side it’s deep enough for her brothers to swim. We played a lot of catch here and Layla practiced a lot of swimming.
At the beach with my boys
Just spying on the big boys again
