December 2019

I can't believe this is the last post for 2019.  We had such a great year.  December was fun.  Here are some pictures from the last month.

November 2019

November was a great month.  We were able to experience amazing fall leaves, Alexis turned 5 and we had Thanksgiving with family at home. 

We tried to make a craft with the leaves...didn't really turn out

I was so lucky to get to meet my friend Regine for dinner when she was in Seattle. We have been friends for almost 20 years. We met a the Four Seasons in Scottsdale. We saw this in  Seattle and had to take a picture.

We enjoyed an amazing meal at Fare Start in Seattle.  Highly recommend it if you are in the area

I love Alexis's style. She is so cute

We attended the Salmon Day at the Fish Park.  It is a time to see the baby salmon swim to the ocean.  There were a ton of crafts and informational booths.  We tried hard but did not see any salmon.

We were able to plant a tree (well Mommy planted a tree:)
