family + adventures + the emerald city
{We headed down to Ravenna-Eckstein Community Center to meet up with friends on Friday morning since the girls and I were going a little stir-crazy but it was raining. These two cuties are just a few weeks apart in age and are developing the cutest friendship!}

Happy 2019! This is my favorite blogging tradition because it is just so fun to review the past year. So, before I start thinking too much about this New Year, let’s look at the highlights of 2018.

Happy December! I cannot believe it is nearly Christmas – just three more sleeps! It’s been a fun and festive holiday season, but I really tried to scale back on the amount of things we committed to, partly because Aaron is still recovering and partly because I always regret being crazy busy this time of year (and then feeling exhausted come the 25th). I have a few fun things to share this month, and if you haven’t seen the post about the girls with Santa, you are missing out.

{After a bit of a rough week – we definitely underestimated Aaron’s recovery! – it was nice to end the (work) week with an easy go-to meal: our favorite tortellini soup!
Most of you are probably on our Christmas card list so you’ve seen at least a smattering of our family photos from this year. But, I ended up buying the entire gallery of photos this year since I couldn’t choose just a few, ha!, so here is a photo over-load because I also couldn’t choose which ones to share either.
We shot these at the UW Arboretum just as it was really starting to look and feel like fall, and even though it was drizzling rain, it was perfect! As we have for the past few family photoshoots, we used Ashley Vos, and I highly recommend her if you are local to Seattle!
Also, when did my girls get so grown-up?!
{We headed downtown bright & early on Friday morning to see Santa at Nordy’s with our friends which has been a Christmas tradition since E was a baby. The girls were all smiles until we got our face-to-face with Santa. I am still waiting for the professional photos to share, but, spoiler alert, it was a doozy.} Continue reading “my weekend in pictures.”
This year I had high hopes of continuing one of my very favorite blogging traditions which is A Pinterest Christmas. It is a DIY series that I started back in 2011! {You can see all of the posts from the series here.}
But alas, as I have been stepping back a bit from things (to avoid over commitment, for which I am famous for this time of year) somethings had to give and this was one of them. At least for now. I do have a few “projects” that are waiting to be done but there feels like so much to be done with just general Christmas festivities and the closing of The Petite Flag Shop that the list is unlikely to be completed in the coming weeks. But, I did think it would be fun to share my favorite projects over the years in this post! Continue reading “A Pinterest Christmas {2018}”
