Leavenworth the German Christmas Village

This last weekend we went about 6 hrs north to Leavenworth, WA with a few other friends.  Leavenworth is a German little town that decorates it's entire town for Christmas.  It was beautiful and it felt as though we were in Germany for the weekend!!  
Parking was $10 a car so we all (12 of us) piled in our van and parked....







 Haylee singing her little heart out!!


 Avery and Haylee had the same hat!!!

 The beautiful town at the foot of the mountains!!
 Waiting for the lights to turn on!!







 Singing again!!





 The next morning we stopped by the town again for a few things and the characters were a little more available than on Saturday!!





Merry Christmas!!

Happy Thanksgiving 2012

 This year for Thanksgiving we had some other couples (and Seth) from Josh's school come eat with us.  None of us had family in town and in dental school you become family with each other for 4 years so it was GREAT!!  The meal was fabulous and the fellowship was even better!!  

Markus excited about the food!!

I skipped out on Black Friday shopping this year because of the pregnancy and how awful I've been feeling, but we continued with our tradition of going to Hagg's Tree Farm on Friday to pick out our Christmas tree.  It was little sad knowing it was going to be our last year picking out a tree!!  We have gone to Hagg's for the last 4 years....

here's a picture of our first year!!

....and this year!!


 After 4 years we got smart and wore rain boots!!  The kids loved splashing in the mud!!

 ....and Haylee loved touching the mud!!

Markus and Dayloni joined us!!



Every year Garrett has found the cutest little tree he wants his picture by!!!

YEAR ONE

YEAR TWO (Haylee must have found it this year)

YEAR THREE

YEAR FOUR
Look at how much he has grown!!!!

Here is Markus and Dayloni's cute apartment sized tree!!

Look at wet Josh got!!  He really had to work hard cutting down the tree this year....in the pouring rain (he really wasn't mad, he just enjoys looking mad in pictures!!)


 Feeding the animals afterward!!

I had to work Saturday and Sunday.  This is what happened when I came home Saturday night to watch Elf with the family....the family wanted to be by me!!  It's so nice knowing I'm loved!!!
