The young men in these pictures are the children of our cousins. All cute and fun kids. Dave is probably telling them all about the wonderful aspects of the X-Box.

For the past few years Aunt Karen and Uncle Ken have invited the family to go out on their boat and follow the Christmas ships around. It's an annual Pacific Northwest event and always fun and pretty to look at. Here are pictures of some of the fam......

I had published the photo that didn't show the snow falling. This one does. I should have something new to post after this week end. We've been busy but haven't taken any photos.

Our annual Christmas trip to the city.

Each year we take a bus and go downtown to see the Christmas lights and take part in the festivities. This is a photo taken from the top floor of Pacific Place. There is snow falling on the folks below. Always kind of enchanting for kids.

Each year the Sheraton Hotel has a display of Gingerbread houses. You make a small donation to walk thru and see them all. The money goes to a variety of charities. It's always fun to see imagination at work.

This is a baker's idea of a Gingerbread house!!? Anyway, this one is quite elaborate and the kids in line loved it. Some dragon, huh?

A "few" lights on the bush.

We decided to put some lights on the rhododendron bush at the front of our house. There a about 2000 lights on it. All the lights we had on 3 bushes in Redmond are now on this one.

First snow in our new home.

Last week end we had some snow. It was lovely. It melted right away so we didn't have to think about driving in it.
