We started our Christmas travels on December 12th this year - so early! That didn't leave us with much time at home for holiday activities, but we did fit in our visit to Maxwell's, walking down Candy Cane Lane, and driving around to look at lights in our neighborhood a few times. The Botanical Gardens was on our list, but we ran out of time and will have to try to visit next year.
We were able to spend a long weekend in Dallas before flying to Seattle. With covid on the rise, we didn't venture out to see friends or do anything in the city, but the kids were happy to see grandparents, and Liz surprised us by staying for a night as well! We opened some presents, celebrated Dave's birthday with a yummy dinner and cake, and played lots of games.
Griffin loved pulling down the ornaments so he could taste them
The children's program at the Discovery Center returned for the first time since March! It's not as good as before, but we are glad it's happening again. They boys had fun listening to a story and building some things out of pip cleaners.
Davey met Santa at preschool and asked for Legos, which is not what he actually wrote in his letter to Santa. Oops.
I went out to lunch with friends to celebrate Candice's birthday early since we were leaving town. She actually has the same birthday as Dave!)
Charlie found what he would buy if he won $1000 dollars
The kids and I did an art day on Sunday afternoon to make some pictures to mail to Aunt Liz
I was able to find my favorite house again this year! It's in a different neighborhood that I'm not very familiar with. I just think their trees look amazing!
We met our friends at Candy Cane lane and walked along it with them. Santa was not out on the curb to see us this year, but the kids still enjoyed the lights and all the decorations.
This was the gift we gave out to neighbors and friends this year
Licorice made the drive between Amarillo and Dallas a little less sad for Griffin. He was very red and sticky by the end.
Charlie is always happy to hang out with someone on the couch
Bedtime snuggles with grandma
Enjoying a nice nap with daddy
Puzzling with Papa
We left Diamond at grandma's house while we were in Seattle. We were a little surprised that Diamond was still around to see another Christmas. This is the fish that just keeps on living!
