Dinner with the Sheltons

We got to have dinner at the Sheltons during Thanksgiving break. Let me tell you... Wayne makes an amazing turkey bagel sandwich! YUM! The best part of the night was seeing the kids together. Olivia and Mallorie are just too cute playing on the floor!

Santa!

Mallorie was amazing at her first Santa visit and I think this was the first time Charlotte actually enjoyed meeting Santa! She told him she wants, "toys and treats" for Christmas. Santa replied, "Well that shouldn't be a problem!"

A White Thanksgiving?

Just days before Thanksgiving it snowed! It really dumped snow- not like past November snow flurries that are usually too wet to stick- this was beautiful! There was even enough for Charlotte to make her first snowman. She called it a snow Charlotte, because it was just her size. Thanksgiving this year was spent with Grandma Juju, Papa Brad, Uncle Sean, and Caitlin!

Great Wolf Lodge

For Matt's 29th birthday, we decided to take a little trip to the Great Wolf Lodge!Matt and I had both taken the week off of work, but decided to stay around home to save money. Our 1 night stay at the Great Wolf Lodge turned out to be a great idea, and an easy and relaxing way to get away during our stay-cation! Mallorie was not particulalry fond of the water park- I think she didn't like the noise. Charlotte loved it! She didn't love the wind storm that just happen to tear through western washington that night though- which knocked out power even at the hotel. Crazy experience! The lights went out at about 9pm, and I think Charlotte thought Matt and I were doing it on purpose to get her to go to sleep- she was really mad! The power didn't come back on until I think about 4am. Overall we had a GREAT time! Aaah-ooooooooh!

Really Daddy?

Turkey Brine

Charlotte loves to help cook, and making the turkey brine together has been a fun little job!
