I dont have any pictures of us sledding. I have a large camera and didnt want to deal with it.

New Years Eve 2009

Since having Tate, we have always stayed at a hotel on New Years Eve. We take Tate swimming and get pizza for dinner. And a few of our friends always stop by to ring in the new year with us.

Here Tate is trying to get Mary, his friend Jewell's Mom, with his new nerf gun (which has since been taken away and put up high in the closet).

Stuff & Things

Stuff & Things we did during the holiday break.

We went on a play date with Jen and her three kids and Anna and her two kids. It was a great day.

We went to Snoqualmie to see the falls and have lunch at the cafe from the series / movie Twim Peaks. We also stopped at the Chew Chew cafe to get Tate a treat. It was cold out, but he chose ice cream. And then refused to sit with us and instead sat alone at the counter.

Tate's fifth birthday, December 29, 2009

My baby is 5. *sigh*

We started the day with breakfast at the New Moon Cafe. My new favorite breakfast place.

Love my bugs.

Brook and Karen joined us for breakfast.

After breakfast, we went to the Children's Museum. Tate got a crown to wear because it was his birthday.

Jewell and her Daddy joined us at the museum.

They had face painting, but Tate refused.

After the museum, we went to Tate's new favorite place, Shankz. They have slot car racing and black light mini golf.

The three of us then headed to I.talia for pizza. Tate loves this place. They have little wooden pizzas you can play with.

Then home to open gifts and have cake with our friends.

Happy Birthday my Tate.

Christmas Day 2009

Santa gifts! Hooray!

A new card game. Thank goodness, I can only handle so much Go Fish.


A cute Cars sleeping bag / air mat.

BUMBLEBEE!!!

Bath fizzies.

YUM! This is now a must have for special occasions. Overnight Monkey Bread. Oh So Good.

I just made snacks for us to munch on all day.

Around 7:30 that night, Tate spiked a fever of 102.4 and started puking.

Poor sick baby. By the morning, he was fine. No fever and no more pukes.
