Happy December!

Happy December!!! 

December is here and it is chilly!! The temperature has not ventured above 32 degrees for the last three days! Of course there isn't a cloud in the sky, so no snow here.... poor husky.

My mom stayed here until this past Thursday. It was so nice to have her here to do some holiday things! She helped me with Brock's Christmas portraits and then came home to watch Seattle wallop the New Orleans Saints during Monday Night Football! On Tuesday, we went to go see Santa at the Macy's downtown (after much online research about which Santa's land was better - Nordstrom or Macy's.... sorry Seattle does not compare to the Macy's on 34th Street). We refused to pay the $29.99 package price to receive a picture....and anyway, Brock needs to warm up a little to the idea of Santa to take a better picture. We'll go see Santa at the Bellevue Mall later this month.




Yeah, poor Brock was not feeling Santa. He was a little wary of the animatronic reindeer too.


So we left Macy's and walked over to the Fairmont Olympic Hotel. They set up one hotel room as a "Teddy Bear Suite." According to their website, "The suite is ideal for family photos and a perfect respite from the holiday hustle and bustle." Brock enjoyed it because he was able to get out of his stroller and crawl around!


Brock enjoyed the bed filled with huge teddy bears!

On two nights, Brent and I were able to get out for a date night. Even though we missed the little guy, we definitely appreciated the time away. We were even able to go see a movie!! (Our first movie in a theater since Brock was born! (Hunger Games)) 

I'm sure Grandma appreciated the time spent with her only Grandchild too.
