This year for Christmas, we made the trek by car to Seattle (well, technically it was Woodinville) to celebrate with Tony and Sarah and their family. What a great time! We were blessed with good weather for the drives and Calder and Amelie did amazingly well. Thank goodness for portable DVD players! We all had a wonderful time and are currently suffering from Seattle Austins Withdrawal.

At the aquarium. Amelie was very excited about all the fish and kept saying, "See something else!"

Fearlessly, she plunges her arm into the pool of water and pets the starfish.

Sorry this is blurry, but I just love the expressions on their faces as they make the acquaintance of the big seal.

These boys were so good to Amelie, playing with her and making her feel so welcome. Thanks, guys!

Calder and Belle checking out her new ride. That baby girl is such a doll!

Just chilling on the floor.

Washing bouncy balls in the bathroom sink. I'm not quite sure why they needed the bath. Ah, the fun one can have with three older cousins!

Building masterpieces together.

I’ll probably be posting more pictures soon–I know Tony and Sarah got some great ones with their camera and we have some more on our phone. Thanks again, Austin family, for hosting us. We had so much fun–playing Clue, Beatles Rock Band, Presidents and just hanging out with your wonderful family. We can’t wait for our next Seattle adventure!
