Christmas, Christmas Time is here!

This was Jack's 5th christmas, and Catie's first. We put a number of photos of the big event in our Picasa album. This year, uncle Jimmy and Aunt Gina took us to Warm Beach in Snohomish County to see the great light display. Of course, the best part of the trip was getting to eat the "Tasty donuts", fresh out of the hot oil and piping hot. Jack also enjoyed the pony ride, the wagon ride, and the train ride. But mostly he loved the donuts. And Frosty.

Then on Christmas Eve eve, Mama, Papa, tante Rie, Owen, Nicholas and Matthew took us all to the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium to see the Zoolights. Now some might think that two light displays are too much for one Christmas. But the two places are VERY different, thought they both had a petting zoo. The lights were in a different style, with the incandescents at Warm Beach contrasting with the vibrant colors of the Zoolights all LED display. Then the activities at each place were largely different - the ponys, trains etc. of Warm Beach and the aquarium and carousel at Zoolights. In the end, we thoroughly enjoyed them both!


But of course we must remember the real meaning of Christmas. The presents! This year Jack asked Santa for a Smart Cycle. And lo and behold, Santa actually listened! Jack was VERY excited. He said...well, I'll let him tell you what he said:
