Christmas Day with the Kimble Family

We spent Christmas with Grandma, Grandpa, and Aunt Hayley (Nana) and had such a fun and relaxing time! We ended up getting to have a lot of fun with them the whole week we were off. This Christmas Beckett was one spoiled little mouse but he had so much fun playing with everyone and opening his gifts, even if it did take the whole day almost:). A lot of these pics are blurry because toddlers move fast, ha ha. Thank you for the wonderful holiday time, we love you guys.

A Christmas Eve Tradition

Our new tradition, which we started last year, is for our little family to snowshoe on Christmas Eve. This year we hiked from Government Camp to the lodge at Mt Hood, then stopped for lunch and headed back down. It was so much fun and Beckett loved watching the skiers and snowboarders! We also got lucky with some amazing beautiful weather. We'll see how we do next year with two kids:)!

Christmas Trip to Seattle with Grandma Nancy!

Right before Christmas, we headed up to Seattle to celebrate with Uncle Nate, Aunt Erin, Eliana, and Grandma Nancy. We had a lovely time and totally maximized the days we had. This December the weather was oddly beautiful, cold but sunny and dry and we made the most of it.


We ate together, had a special Christmas morning and fancy evening feast, went to a petting zoo, lights display and trips to the park. Spending time with family is always special. Thank you Nate and Erin for hosting us and cooking amazing meals and thank you Nancy for making the trip! We were so lucky to be with all of you this holiday season.




Nancy got Matt and Nate the wonderful candle carosels they grew up with, as their Christmas gifts and we were so excited to set them up!



Beckett's hair is getting a bit long in the back, so I stole one of Eliana's hair bands to make a tiny ponytail:). Of course Matt did not like this, but isn't he so cute, he he.


This was at the light display. It sure was chilly, but what a beautiful display at the botanical gardens.


There was a big fish pond at the petting zoo location and Beckett was super excited.



What a sweet photo of Grandma and the little cousins:)





All dressed up and so cute!





Eliana was so sad when we all left. It made us all tear up.
