We drove to Puyallup on December 20th so we had some time to hang out before all of the Christmas festivities began.
 |
| Ruth figured out how to climb out of her pack and play at my parents' house. It made for a rough nap time so one afternoon she ended up falling asleep on my mom. |
 |
| The kids organized their own picnic lunch outside. |
 |
| We were able to get in our traditional double date with Jessika and Steinar. It's always so fun to get together with them! |
 |
| To get in the Christmas spirit, we went to the North Pole at the Puyallup Fair. |
 |
| At the North Pole, Claire got her own Costco name tag. |
 |
| Lanie, Ruth, and Ruby played in the sandbox. |
 |
| Ryan, Mitch, and Wes played at the Lego table. |
 |
| Ruth was a big fan of the tinker toys. |
 |
| Sydney, Lydia, and Madison in the North Pole reading room. |
 |
| Me and Sydney by Santa's sleigh. |
 |
| All the cousins! |
