Our House in the Middle of Our Street

Ani trying out a slackline at Stanley Park back in October.  *Scheduled DPP posts*

A beautiful Fall sunset back in November.  *Scheduled DPP posts*

Quiet, clear mountain view. *There are a few images in upcoming days that I will be posting ahead of time because I'll be unable to blog*

...Little corners of play; surrounding an unseen baby... 

Makers gonna make...

Making lists and checking them.... off! 

This float is from the little Dutch community of Lynden's Sinterklaas parade. Everything is lit up, and we literally hopped from one free food stand to the next. It was a fun night! Included with freezing temperatures were free: hot chocolate, bowls of soup, popcorn, donuts, sliders, candy canes, and cookies. These small towns know how to celebrate!

Beautifully clear sunrise with the mountains from my little spot in the parking lot at the fitness center. Look at those colors! The sad thing is a photo can never do the real thing justice. 

Small towns know how to celebrate holidays - free trolley rides driven by draft horses!

Sunset over Blaine marina. 

He's always been the one in the family most in love with the holidays. I think he takes after me. :) 

We didn't have any time or inclination to cut down our own this year, but this 3 foot beauty was waiting for us outside the grocery store. It's as tall as Ani.

Last drink of water before bedtime

Again, I forgot to take a picture today. We were too busy living. I'll go back to one of the favorite spots in our apartment. The Christmas book nook is ready.
