Holiday Party!

A couple weeks ago we had our 8th annual Holiday party, which started senior year of college at the Whisky and is still going strong, held at various bars around the Seattle area for the past few years. This year it was at The Leary Traveler in between Fremont & Ballard. We had quite a fun evening, drinking & dancing to Mariah, as per our usual holiday party routine. Above is a pic of my fave Walla Walla girls!

Craft/Bake-off + Getting the tree!

This past weekend was the 5th annual Craft/Bake-Off at Teresa's house down in Longview. Eight of us gathered for the ultimate holiday girlie weekend. This consisted of baking, wearing Christmas pjs at all times, listening to Christmas music, crafting, drinking wine (or just sparkling cider for some!), bundling up for winter walks and lots of laughing! We had a really great weekend, so fun to see it snow for the first time and hang out with all my girlfriends. Thanks to Terry for hosting every year!

Sunday Brad and I went to get the tree, while watching his family friend's darling 2 year old son Logan. He was lots of fun to have with us at the tree farm! Thanks to Courtney for referring us to such perfect place to get our tree!
