2013 Christmas in Denver

Technically Lakewood and Golden, but to those outside Colorado, Denver might be more familiar.  We had a lovely time visiting Tiger Lily's grandparents in Lakewood and Golden.  Beth's sister Louisa and brother-in-law Mike were able to visit at the same time, so we had a regular family reunion.  We were showered with delicious food, great company and generous gifts.  The weather was great too. It was actually somewhat warmer where we were in Colorado than Seattle for the time!  Beth and Tiger Lily were also able to reunite with Beth's High School friends, some of their spouses and a whole bunch of their kids!

2013 Christmas in Seattle

We've done all sorts of fun things this holiday season around home including visiting a camel and reindeer at Swanson's nursery with friends, a fun trip to the mountains to cut our Christmas tree, the "Snowflake Lane" spectacular light/snow/music and dance show in the streets of Bellevue, an unplanned visit to Santa at Macy's (who would have guessed Santa would be at Macy's?) and ride on the holiday carousel at Westlake Center. We visited the Christmas Ship on Lake Washington and caroling around a bonfire at the Mt. Baker rowing club. We even made holiday tamale's in time for dinner on our Seattle Christmas Eve!
