Lights of Christmas

The Lights of Christmas at Warm Beach! It is such a beautiful display of lights. There are 1 million lights and so many different scenes to look at.

Of course we talked with Bruce the talking spuce and he loves to tell jokes

 The donuts smelled amazing!!! They make them right in front of your eyes. I unfortunately did not eat one but everyone else told me how scrumptious they were!

We took at little train ride around

 

It was an A+ night.

 

Santa Train at North Bend

This year a big group of us went on the Santa Train at North Bend. We drive to North Bend and take a train to Snoqualamie. It is about a 20 minute ride then we get to drink hot cocoa and eat cookies and meet santa. We have some time to shop in Snoqualamie before it is time to leave. John, Joy, Jeremy, Felicia, Caitlyn, Evan, Bill, Karen, Melissa, Shawn, Ben, Harriet and Brenda all went.

 

Waiting to meet Santa...

 

No Santa is not flipping anyone off. He is signaling someone.

 

 

Fun Holiday Traditions.

Thanksgiving Days

Evan had his Thanksgiving dinner at school. They had hot dogs, macaroni, fritos, raisins and juice. We dressed up as either an indian or pilgrim. The room was decorated with a TePee. They got to play a game with nuts. It was said that kids needed to get 3 nuts in the basket to get dessert. If they only 2 in the basket they get to hunt for the turkey and shoot it and if they only get 1 they only get to hunt the turkey. If they get 0 nuts then they have to pick vegetables. It was a cute story.

 Then we had Thanksgiving day at Grandma Karen's and Papa Bill's.

Games with family.

 

It was a very fun day. We met a new person named Claude who was uncle Kevins friend. He was really nice and it was good to chat with him. We also tried to bring food to a homeless lady but 2 families had already brought her dinner so we took it back home. It was a fun filled day.

Forks Road Trip

Saturday November 17th. Brenda, Lori, Deborah and Felicia took a road trip to Forks. We left around 7pm and took the Edmonds Kingston Ferry. It was kinda rainy. I wanted to buy some scrapbook supplies for my last trip.

Our friends at the chamber of commerce. It was nice to see them again.

 

This is the real sign from the first Twilight movie. This is from the prom at the end. The shop owners said they really had to fight to get this prop. It was a big hit.

 

Going into LaPush.

 

The weather was beautiful. The clouds parted and the sun came out. It even stopped raining during the time we were at the beach. The water was beautiful and the waves were white and wild.

Crescent lake dock. It was so very cold outside.

Thank you ladies for coming on my crazy adventure. I can always count on friends to make my crazy ideas come to life. Cannot wait until next time! I think this should be a yearly event!
