I'm a girl from West Seattle who married a boy from Spokane, and together we are living our life with our sweet children, James and Juliet

christmas eve

On Christmas Eve we packed up most of our house and headed to Spokane, but before we left we opened a present from Grandma. Juliet loved the paper on her presents and helped to tear them open.



I cried when we pulled out this book. It was my favorite story as a child. (The author is Tomie dePaola-the same author as Juliet's first Christmas book.) My mom wrote the sweetest little note to Juliet telling her how she used to read this story to me when I was little. I can't wait until we can snuggle in bed and enjoy the story together. J does like her books, but they usually end up in her mouth at this point. 


Once we were on the road, J passed out and slept all the way to Moses Lake! I wasn't sure what to expect because this was our first long drive, but she is definitely a road tripper.


We ate at the lovely El Rodeo in Moses Lake.


J's new favorite game is walking around restaurants with daddy. They make a lot of friends, although El Rodeo was a little empty for lunch. I can't imagine why? I mean they even had stockings hanging from the ceiling. Festive!


El Rodeo was a little shady, but they served us this awesome dessert.


I forgot to take pictures of our arrival, but it was a winter wonderland! For Christmas Eve we had a quiet dinner with Jan, Larry, Jeff and their new puppy, Lucy.
