Christmas 2018

Here's a brief recap of our Christmas season both in Washington and in Utah.

 We used this picture for our Christmas card this year. Mom Lewis took it outside their back porch when we went to visit the PNW family for Isaac's baptism. Here's what we wrote on our cards. This year was filled with lots of exciting changes for our family. In January, we moved from Moscow, Idaho to the greater Seattle area. Austin started working for Puget Sound Energy in the Energy Efficiency department. He loves his job and his commute, a 30-minute bike ride along the beautiful Sammamish River trail. He’s already clocked over 1,500 miles! Our favorite change this year happened in June when Dallin Glen was born! He is a constant joy and we love watching him grow. We are especially grateful this time of year for the birth of Jesus Christ. He makes all things possible. We send our love to you. Merry Christmas! 

 Seth could not get enough of Dallin time. 

 Special time with Grandma Lewis

 We went to a community Church which had lights and music flashing in sync with each other. It started to pour (I mean, pour!) as soon as we got there. It made for a very eventful evening. 

 Austin spent two weeks working on this puzzle. Seth gave it to him as a thank you gift for helping out with their toilet over Thanksgiving. 

 Our little Frank Sinatra.

 Watching "The Dickens Carolers" perform at the library. Austin requested "O How a Rose Ere Blooming" which they did a lovely rendition. 

 Wanted to open aunt Emily and uncle Bronson's gift.

 Grandma Doutre's gift to him. Look at all those balls!

 Poor kid couldn't make past the 1 hour of Church from the late flight the night before. Looks like Grandpa Doutre couldn't either. :)

 Doing cousin and sibling gift exchanges.

 Really digging that book.

 Christmas Eve with my little man.

 Austin is the sweetest. He worked on this every time I went to mutual. I knew he was working on something but I had no idea what it was!

 We gave him some things for Christmas that we got for him before he was born like this bib. That's how we roll. 

 I mean seriously. All the heart eyes. 

 Christmas 2018!

 Hanging with Grandma Doutre

 Playing minute to win it games

 As always, got to have some Johns time! Thanks for letting us crash your whole day!

 Somebody was not happy that their mommy was holding another baby so she had to wiggle her way in the middle. :)

 On our flight home bright and early

We flew home on our 6th anniversary and we just took it really chill that day since we were so wiped out! We sure had so much fun though!
