Sammamish Christmas, Part 5 (Final Fun and Heading Home)

Our trip this Christmas was all about family. Normally there are so many activities that we try to squeeze in (the gingerbread house display, garden of lights, tickets to the theater, holiday carousel, ward party, etc...), but thanks to covid, none of those were happening this year. Sometimes the togetherness was a bit loud and messy, but most of the time it was wonderful. So many great memories with family were made and we enjoyed it to the fullest!!

Reading books, and more books, and more books with GG Grandma


Charlie and Grandmari ready to cheer on the Seahawks


We did at least six puzzles over the break


One more trip up to the cabin for some skiing, snow cones, and fun


Griffin was in a bad habit of going to bed for just an hour or so, and then waking up once the games started. He thought it was so fun to party with the grown ups after all the other kids were in bed.


We had just one ski day on our trip. The snow was very heavy and I felt like I could barely power through it all, but was still so happy to be back on the slopes. Now that we are exiting the baby years, this will hopefully happen more often!

One more round of snow play before packing up to return to Texas



Dave helped the kids build a tunnel slide in the snow bank



We made a lineup of snowmen in the road for the plow to destroy when it came back down the street


Griffin loved all the extra attention he got during our stay


Goodbye snuggles with GG. She was an unexpected guest for our trip, but we were so, so glad to see her.
