The food may have been the same, but everything else was different.
- There is snow everywhere! Can't remember the last time we had snow on Thanksgiving.
- Zach made a snowman by himself.
- I made oatmeal pies for some of our neighbors and the kids and I delivered them. That was fun surprising everyone!
- I made a new appetizer and pie and they were both ok.
- For the last 7 years Chad & Holly have hosted Thanksgiving and this year my Mom did.
- Patty didn't come to Thanksgiving. She chose to stay home, enjoy the holiday shows & stay off the snow and ice.
- No child in a high chair. They all sat at their own table. All kids 3+ years.
- Dad, Chad and I nervous for Sunday because we are running the Seattle Half Marathon together.
- We left Mom & Dad's and took the kids into Seattle to stay at the Warwick for the night so that we could watch the parade in the morning.
Grandma got them yummy Coldstone Cupcakes! They are suppose to be closing their eyes for a present.
Grandma made them each a pillowcase and gave them their Christmas PJs early.
I love Elissa's face here! She is so excited because she told Grandma that she wanted a hot pink and black pillowcase because they are "rockin" colors. Grandma even found fabric that have guitars on them. :-)
Now Chase, not so excited. He wanted a toy. LOL! Zach really likes his PJs.
What did they end up liking the best?? The fabric ties Mom used for their presents. They all tied them around their heads and became ninjas. Funny kids! Cole and Lissy are hiding under the table. Love them!
Our hotel room had a great view of the Space Needle.
The kids loved going to a hotel and being able to go swimming. It has been awhile. They were surprised when John, Renee, Tommy & Tyler showed up! It was a fun evening hanging out. But no one had fun the rest of the night. For some reason Elissa was up on and off all night and she made sure that everyone else was up with her too. Not to mention that we both had a double bed with a child next to us. They were relieved when we finally let them watch TV at 6:30am. Maybe it was a little early to do this???
