Lights of Christmas - Warm Beach

What a busy week and weekend we had, but so many smiles and experiences!!! We met our friends near Standwood at the Lights of Christmas to see over a million lights and enjoy all the park has to offer. It was soooo great to have everyone together! This was our first time going here and I am excited to return!!! As you will see below, Terrace was not so sure about Santa though she was fine with waving and high fives - and loves candy canes!

not so sure...

Jingle Bell Run/Walk

On Saturday, we participated in the Bellingham Jingle Bell Run/Walk. Brad ran the 4 miles while TJ and I walked the 2 miles with Crystal and Jaiden. It was such a gorgeous and COLD morning....it was around 32 but warmed up when were surrounded by all the participants and then even more while walking. Terrace was so excited about her first candy cane and she ate it so quickly. Brad was only 40 seconds behind his goal and we all can't wait to do it again next year!

Stoney Ridge Farm

Diane and I had a great day on Thursday while Brad was at work. We had a nice breakfast at the cafe in birch bay, hung out at the water, and after TJ's nap, we went out to Stoney Ridge Farm to walk around, pick out an ornament, and eat some pie. What a beautiful day and it was so nice to walk around and see how different it was without all the pumpkins during the halloween season. Later that afternoon we started a new tradition of creating/decorating an ornament....she had fun with some of my markers. Everyone was sad to see Diane go and hopefully we were see her soon again!

Aunt Diane visits!

Aunt Diane was here for a GREAT visit last week. We took our time driving back up after picking her up. On Tuesday we went to library time, to a coin shop and then to pick out a tree. Diane tried to stay warm, though we were both prepared in our boots for the mud. Terrace has enjoyed the tree, taking off the balls and other ornaments, and touching the lights!
