The 2010 Bible Study Christmas party was held at our house this year. We ate way too many hors d'oeuvres. Rayna put together our "year in review" video and it was fabulous...as usual! Thanks Rayna! Another year with amazing friends. We are so blessed!

Caleb's first train trip
Caleb took the train up to Seattle with Nana and Papa today. It was his first ride on a train. Kevin, Eli and I will meet them up there tomorrow for our annual trip to Seattle for Santa pictures.

All three passengers have their tickets
Ready to go with plenty of activities...and his green blank (of course!) tucked away in his backpack.
Poor Eli isn't old enough to ride up on the train yet.

Brandon Heath Date Night
Kevin and I went out to dinner and to see Brandon Heath in concert at the Rialto Theater in Tacoma last night. We had dinner at Azteca on our way up. Caleb and Eli went to Nana and Papa's house. Caleb made this gingerbread house with Papa while there. Nana would have loved to have been part of the process too but Eli was crying, crying, crying and she had to snuggle him until he fell asleep. It is SO weird that he cries over at Nana and Papa's when he is there with us ALL the time. I'm hoping he gets over it soon...and so are Nana and Papa!

Oh Christmas Tree
We lucked out and got a gorgeous sunny day today for getting our tree. We headed out Tilly Road toward Tenino expecting to come across a tree farm. Of course we found one and only had to pay $25 for our tree! Score! Caleb enjoyed running around trying to find the perfect tree and then helping daddy cut it down.

This is the one! Caleb is supervising daddy's work.

Working together.
Ooooh, look what I found!
Yikes!!!
