Olson Family Christmas

Last Saturday on the 18th we got together for the Olson Family Christmas and we did some cousin pictures. Here are the best shots we got. We had a great time. Avery loved playing with the cousins as did Daryl. Thanks to Debbie and everyone else who made the night so much fun. The food was great!

Santa Train

Last Saturday we rode the Santa Train in Chehalis with Aimee, Karl, Tyler, and Namma Diane. It was a cute little half hour ride on a real steam engine. Tyler and Avery had a good time, and enjoyed the mini candy canes that Santa gave them. We somehow managed not to get washed away in the torrential rains too. It was a great time and we loved the opportunity to be with family.

Birthday Round Up

Avery and I had birthdays this last month. We were both sick on our respective birthdays. Avery's was the 12th of November and she was throwing up all that birthday weekend. We did give her presents the Sunday after her birthday when she was feeling a little better. She had to have some help from her Uncle Adam opening her gifts. For all of November I was coughing and it is now finally letting up, and I think I am getting better at last. My birthday was on Thanksgiving so we went out to eat at Maggiano's, a very nice Italian place in Bellevue. That's pretty much all there is to Avery's second birthday and my twenty-ninth birthday.

How can you not love that face?
