Today we headed out to the Kirkland Library with some friends to see Caspar Babypants. Chris Ballew is the lead singer (Presidents of the USA). It was pretty fun to see him in real life and so up close. We even got a CD signed for Colin since he really wanted to go. (thanks Brooke)

Here is a video of all the girls enjoying one of the fun songs! (warning - it is a long one)

Garden of De-Lights and Snowflake Lane

Two of our yearly traditions are going to the Bellevue Botanical Garden of De-Lights and Snowflake Lane, and we headed out again this year to check them out. The girls loved Snowflake Lane and had a fun time dancing around with cousin Trent too.

The Perfect Tree

We usually just head to Home Depot to get our Christmas tree, this year we decided to brave the crowds and elements and start a little nicer tradition for the kids. We got all bundled up (it was 28degrees) and headed out to the U-Cut Tree lot to find our perfect tree and cut it down. We just assumed that this particular place would surely take credit cards since we rarely carry cash. We started out on our search when Colin noticed a big sign that read "Cash and Check ONLY". So we decided that since we were already at the lot we would just take some pictures and then Colin would go back later and pick our perfect tree alone.. and that is what we did. It is the perfect tree.
