90 minutes at Mount baker

We spent more time driving than we did sledding.

But it was a beautiful day.

About 9 degrees though.

Hence the 90 minutes.

to blog or not to blog.

That is not the question.

Of course I am going to blog.

I’m just taking a little break. 

That is turning into a longer one. 

I think I will be back at it in January.

But for now I am going to enjoy the holiday, and I hope you all do too!

Here are the pictures I WOULD done posts for if I was blogging. 

This one would have been a good Wordless Wednesday:

Oh, and here is the picture of my wreath that looks so nice over our fireplace mantel.  I was going to show how much nicer it looks than the other one I had there….but you’ll just have to believe me.

And here are some pics of our trip to a fun kids place called Jungle Playland.  The kids played for 3.5 hours!

I would have titled this post “double fisting”.

And my step-daughter arrived a couple days ago to spend the holidays with us – you see her, right?

And last but not least, check out Santa’s favorite little reindeer:

 

pictures with Santa

2010:  I’ll stand here but I WON’T sit next to him.

2009:  You can’t tell but Eli someone is getting ready to scream.

2008:  Eli’s appearance cracks me up in this one. 

2007:  Best. Picture.  Ever.

2006:  Is it just me, or does Santa look a little TOO happy? 

We did the pictures somewhere different this year and I can see a huge difference in quality.  However, they are not any better at getting an uncooperative child to cooperate than the elves at the mall. 

Hope you have enjoyed this little trip down Santa lane….

They light up my life....
