Christmas in Washington

So 3 days after we got back from Boise we re-packed and geared up to go up to Washington for a week for Christmas. It.was.awesome! Spent the days just being lazy and hanging around the North Pole, well that's what it felt like.  My mom had the house decorated so great! It was so cozy and Chrismassy, for lack of a better word.  It looked amazing.  My dad had the outside all lit up that puts Clark W Griswold to shame, glorious!

We got to spend time with my 94 year old Gram and Aunt Judy who flew up from Texas.  Gram got to enjoy seeing her 3 great grandsons.  It was a real treat.  Christmas was crazy.  Inoke was everywhere, I mean everywhere, crawling on top of people, on top of other babies, pulling down Christmas lights and decorations, chewing on the coffee table and anything else he could get in his mouth.  It was fun to watch Inoke and Ezra interacting and discovering each other, and Scotty's little guy Jack just sleeping the events away, except when you moved him, he would get a bit unnerved and let you know it! Sounds a bit like a newborn I used to know.. just wants to be left alone.

It was such a glorious week, went by too fast of course.  I got to catch up with some great gals, thanks Shannon E., Katie, and Shannon S. for some great laughs and catching up!!

Packing!

Airplane, ready to take off, Inoke slept the whole time, he's fantastic
