Family Game Night

It has been so great living near our son and his family. With our other son also home for the holidays, it just doesn't get better than that. Both of them will be leaving on Sunday, so last night was game night at our house. It was a chance for us all to have some fun times together since it might be another year before we can all get together again. We had the board game Risk going while Grandpa and Hannah played some chess and then the keyboard. We also played a couple of rounds of dominoes.
While it was warm and cozy inside, outside it was cold (20's) and snowing.

Post Christmas

Mark did get in the day after he was scheduled to arrived and so we had the whole family together for Christmas. We had 19 people at Christmas dinner which was hosted by our daughter-in-law's parents. A great time was had by all. On Monday we are headed back to Woodinville for a wedding. We haven't been back since we moved in October. Don't know yet if we'll drive by our house - we'll see.

Christmas Time

Well, Christmas is almost here. All that is lacking is Mark. We was to have arrived yesterday, but the last leg of his flight couldn't make it due to heavy fog, so he was to stay the night in Seattle. He's trying to get another flight out today, but it is still foggy, so we'll just have to wait and see what happens.
Since I last posted, we have gotten word that Drew will be deployed to Qatar in early January. So glad we are here near his family while he is gone.
Merry Christmas to all of you!!

December Already??

It's December already?? We whizzed right by Thanksgiving without even taking any pictures. We had a great time with our family and even our daughter-in-law's parents joined us.
Soon we are off on our big family cruise. It had been so cold here that will be nice to get into the warm waters of Mexico. We'll have to get some pictures on this trip. I'll post them when we return......
