Strolling thru downtown

We bundled up tight and walked the downtown. It was lit up with all kinds of holiday lights. Cool stuff.

Chillin' at the hotel

We stayed at this very nice place called the Enzian Inn. The place featured cool Bavarian touches all over...plus a big continental breakfast each morning.

Sleigh ride

We also got to pose with the horses that pulled the sleigh and drink hot cider.

Trip to Leavenworth

For our six year wedding anniversary, we took a trip to central Washington and the town of Leavenworth. It's known around here as "Little Bavaria." Everything in the town looks like it is right out of Germany. We bundled up and took a sleigh ride through the forest. It was quite cold to say the least.

Eight months old

Ava turned eight months old on Jan. 10. She is growing like a weed!

Rip and tear

Mommy and Daddy had to help opening the presents, but Ava did do some of the ripping. She liked the bow best.

Christmas morning

There were a couple of presents for Ava pie to open on her first Christmas morning. Miss Judy (daycare lady) and Mommy and Daddy both got her gifts.
