Go Dawgs!

We are very happy Huskies! (Adam's excitement put him right to sleep!)Mark & Kevin couldn't be happier! PBR all around!

FINALLY a win at the Holiday Bowl! Go Dawgs!

Santa Claus has come!

Oh, the excitement & fun!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Eve!

Oh, What Fun!

We decided this year...with a little push from Adam & Ava...to open our gifts Christmas Eve morning...why not? Oh, what fun!

Tags...

Today Adam picked out his gift for Ava & helped me wrap it...followed by making a tag for her...I overheard him saying, "Dear Ava, I love you so much! Merry Christmas! Love, Adam"...my heart melted! And this is what it looked like... As for Ava's tag for Adam...just a pretty picture!

Our Hurley Christmas

5 Hurley cousins...with one more on the way! (just to clarify...NOT from me...the other side!) The goofballs!

Our sweethearts...

Always a comedian...

The two hams of the group!

Nana's crew...

The North Pole in Gig Harbor...

Tonight we visited a local Gig Harbor family who has a love for trains (okay, just the Dad has the love!) WOW, now this is a hobby! He starts setting up the trains & village in his garage in August to have it ready just in time for Christmas! And with all that work, who wouldn't want to share it with the neighbors! We happen to stop by when no one else was there...so he let Adam drive them! Look at this!...It was very impressive!

Adam's Christmas Program

Today was Adam's Preschool Christmas Program...SO CUTE! My heart melted...several times! He has been working so hard...especially on memorizing & the signing of his Bible verse...& he nailed it...Yay!Followed with a few songs...the teacher encouraged us to practice with them at home...I asked Adam a couple times if he wanted to practice with me...his response, "No Mom, it's a surprise!"

The "Rum Pum Pum Pum" Song...as all the kids called it!

Maggie & Ava liked it!

Adam's FABULOUS teachers...Mrs. Fouquette & Mrs. Stephens...

Adam's Best Friends...Claire & Aiden! (Yes...twins!)

O Christmas Tree

Adam & Ava were VERY excited to decorate the tree this year! So, we let them! (With a little help & supervision!)

So serious!

All done & it looks great!...It looks just like a 2 & 4 year old decorated it!...Beautiful!

Saying "Good-bye"...

I know it's just a car...but I LOVED my Jeep! (Ask Kev how much?!) Today it was time to say good-bye...a little sad for me...Kevin & I bought it when we were engaged and I brought my two babies home from the hospital in it...but then again, Adam did get car sick in it a lot too! So, we say...Good-bye!

Adam's Wish List for Santa...

Adam wanted to make his Wish List for Santa...just like Brother Bear & Sister Bear, of course! Do you recognize most of the letters?!...The 4 he knows best..."A"-"D"-"A"-"M"! According to Adam, the top two are "Hot Wheel Race Tracks" & the bottom three are "Remote Control Cars" in different colors! Santa is prepared...with only one of each...& we're still working on what color he really wants!

Zoolights

With the Hurley Clan!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Gig Harbor Turkey Trot

Our 1st 5K!...Go Team Turkey!

Snow! Snow! Snow!

Yay!...Snow!

End of Soccer Season Celebration!

Today was Adam's last soccer game for the season. What fun it was! His team was 7-1...not that we were keeping score! Adam made big improvements...he became quite the aggressive player & of course loved scoring goals! We are so proud!

After the game today, we headed to DQ to celebrate & each player got a trophy...wow, did he love that! Go Awesome Possums!

(I am actually writing this post the following morning...and Adam has already managed to break his trophy...oh, how sad he is! Hopefully a lesson learned...we'll have to wait and see when he gets his next trophy!)

A Day at the Country Village Shops...

Today we headed north to meet Samar, George & Clive at the Country Village Shops in Bothell...darling! First stop...the ducks! Well, they came to us the moment we stepped out of our car! There were a few roosters lingering too...one even pecked at Adam!...Aggressive little buggers!

And who are these two looking at!! Not me, of course! But they do seem to be looking at the same thing...stinkers! (It's either smiles or eyes...I rarely seem to get them both!)
Off to the the pirate ship! No surprise, Adam LOVED it!
Arrrgh!

And of course, a ride on the train...

Samar & I decided we need to come again in the Spring or Summer...& with the hubbies, so we can enjoy all the sweet boutiques!

Sleepy Head...

I couldn't resist... And Adam couldn't let me take a picture of Ava without getting one of him too!
