On Monday we started our annual tradition of a "downtown day." We ventured to the Sheraton for the gingerbread houses- the theme was train stations around the world, and then we stopped by Macy's to watch their train display. Colter was absolutely mesmerized.
On Wednesday morning, we ventured up the Space Needle for the first time since we moved to Seattle. It is pretty cool to see a 360 view of the city. Now we just need to eat up there!
We hosted the clan over for dinner Wednesday night and afterwards we hit the streets and did some good ol fashion caroling. It seemed like the people who actually opened the door really enjoyed it. James and Saisha definitely stole the show with their instruments.
On Thursday morning we all made sugar cookies together.. seriously these cookies are amazing! The only cookies that I think are better than the dough.
In the afternoon we went to the pool together. It was Ben's first time at the awesome Lynnwood pool, and it was a blast. We feel so fortunate to have this pool so close. The older Colter gets, the more he loves being in the water. I can't wait to get him in some lessons!
Colter got an early Christmas present from his Crowl grandparents- a zoo pass! We took advantage of it on Friday for Colter's first trip to the zoo awake! There were minimal crowds, lots of the animals were out, and it was a beautiful day. Perfect combination. Colter was so into the giraffes and the meerkats. It is going to be so fun to visit there over the next year.
Friday afternoon we went to Matthew's Beach Park to watch the Christmas ships broadcast some songs to the beach. Afterwards we went to a few houses to look at Christmas lights and my sister and I even got to sit with Santa. Colter could stare at the lights for hours.
Wow, I didn't realize how busy we were until I wrote everything out! Such a wonderful time with our favorite man and our Nana.
