Bye Seattle...Bye Hank...Bye Family...I love you!

Having a little fun shopping.

While at Josie's birthday party, Thomas and I received a wedding gift from our friends from North Bend. WOW, WOW, WOW! A low down of this story - While taking our wedding pics, one of our friends (not sure who exactly) came up with the idea of us holding a shotgun. This idea of Shotgun Red was planned even before the wedding. Last week, we received a package in the mail of a CASE of wine and 8 Riedel Crystal Cabernet Sauvignon glasses.

We all had so much fun at Josie's 1st birthday party at Round Table Pizza. We celebrated a wee bit early. Pictures of Josie's birthday on Jan 7th are coming up.

Eating Pizza at the kids table.

Ahhh...look how cute! The entire bottle of red die was used to create Elmo.

Time to blow out the candle...MAKE A WISH!

Before the party started, Grandma Rhonda took a couple of pre-party cake shots with Josie. Like any smart kid would do, she put her finger in the cake to taste it. It was kind of downhill from there, she started balling all while trying to remove the sticky icing from her fingers. So when it came time to eat her cake, she tried once more like a champ but to no avail. Her sticky fingers were all too overwhelming and she broke down, again. Enter song here: "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to..."

Gotta love the red dye!

All right, time to open the gifts so Josie can get EAT the paper.

Ooooh, Mom loves all the cute clothes and Josie LOVES Elmo.

Who let this guy in? J/K...Joe is always the life of the party. I am very happy Josie and I had the chance to meet Joe and Paula's little guy Kiefer. What a cute kid.

Shopping with Grandpa Tom - Josie loves to ride in the cart, she kicks her feet back and forth with joy.

Seeing Josie play with her toys makes me feel like she is growing up like a big girl.

A day of glamour shot and a wee bit of shopping.

(I'll update more pics of Hank and Josie)

CHRISTMAS EVE

Our family celebrates Christmas on Christmas Eve...fun, fun!

WOW! What a work of art. Asher created this airbrushed canvas of Tom from a photograph. We were all so impressed!

CHRISTMAS MORNING

Josie laid eyes on Elmo and she knew exactly who he was...she gave him a big kiss.

G'ma Rhonda took Josie out in the snow...so cute! More pictures are coming soon.

Christmas night - I think G'ma and G'pa planted this gift as pooped out Josie was dreaming of opening presents.
