A winter visit with Gigi & Grandpa

Another special visit with Gigi & Grandpa. Thanks for showering us with so much love!

Gigi & Grandpa took Colter to the children's museum and discovered an amazing construction exhibit! I can't wait to go back and check it out!

Finished off a hard playing time with McDonalds

We braved freeeeeeeeeeeeezing temperatures to hit up the zoo. I couldn't believe how many animals were out moving around! 

The railroad club in Edmonds had an open house on Saturday, so we all got to see the amazing model train display inside. 

Another day we ventured downtown to take in some of the holiday highlights. Grandpa & Gigi took Colter on the sounder and Maddie & I met them downtown. 

First, we checked out the amazing gingerbread houses at the Sheraton. They were incredible! Especially this one portraying "hey diddle diddle"

Afterwards, we went by Macy's to watch the trains go around.

Finally, we went to the Fairmont with hopes to see the teddy bear suite. I got the opening time wrong, so we thought we were going to miss it, but a kind hotel staff member let us in for all by ourselves! It was definitely the highlight of our morning!

There were fun moments at the house as well.. baking cookies with Gigi, getting rides from grandpa, fun Christmas gifts, and stealing bites of food off everyone's plates.

I truly feel so so blessed by Mary & Greg. Colter is going through a major "mommy only" phase, and they were so patient with him.. taking in the moments when they could. I'm thankful for their patience, and desire to be a part of our lives.
