Flint Family Christmas...I know, I know...the hats?

My Uncle Bill is fabulous at making us all look silly at family functions...this year was pretty cute though.  Papa read the Christmas story to the grand cousins and Owen and it was so fun to see.  We miss Grandpa and Grandma Flint so much this holiday season and it was so fun to have our huge family together to celebrate.  Note: this gift was from the white elephant gift exchange...we really don't give 

The Clapper as gifts.

Mulled Wine at the Whitfield's and Holiday Lights

We spent an evening in December drinking mulled wine at the Whitfield's to celebrate Doug's birthday and the beginning of the holiday season and then headed off to the Bellevue Botanical Gardens.  It was a great evening and so much fun with such good people.  This is a darling picture of Ben Heidergott  who did this when I asked him to smile...so darn cute!!!

Not the best picture but we tried.

Owen loved Baby Sophie's activity mat.

Elizabeth's beautiful daughter Sophie, she is so sweet.

Turkey Trot 2009

On Thanksgiving morning we met some friends at Greenlake for a Turkey Trot...a fabulous way to start the 'fill the belly too full"day. The kiddos, moms and dads were ready for the rain and awaited Starbucks at the finish line. Owen found his love for no water, soy Chais this day! Thanks Kate for organizing. Great group, great idea and hilarious children.
