First Annual Family Christmas Tree Hunt!

Along with adding a new member to the family (Tiger Lily) we've also been trying new traditions this year. Here's one that turned out well in the end, though it was touch-and-go for awhile... click the picture for a 13 picture slide show, and here to see all 13 at once.

Playing in the snow

Beth and Tiger Lily drove up to the snow on Snoqualmie Pass on Saturday with our friends Jason, Jodie, and Rosie.  We stomped around a bit then found a closed but unlocked restaurant at the lodge that had been taken over by families with grumpy, cold babies.  We ate lunch and chased the kids around.  One little boy thought that TL (who was focused on crawling and oblivious to everything else) was a perfect horsey to ride!  Looking forward to many more snowy adventures this winter!
