Christmas and New Years


We were so excited to go home to Minnesota for Christmas. We had so much fun with Dave and Paige! We went to see a production of A Christmas Carol at the Guthrie, did some sledding with fresh powdery snow, made the annual eggnog, hung out with friends Brian and Guy in Stillwater, got loads of nice presents and ate great, yummy food.

Two great events marked our New Year's celebrations: the Graces hosted an 80's themed party and Chad and Patty came down to visit from Bellingham. As soon as they arrived, we picked out some costumes and headed out for a fun night of good conversation, food and karaoke! Chad belted out quite a rendition of Welcome to the Jungle by Guns 'n' Roses. I wore my best goth imitation of the Cure's Robert Smith.


We enjoyed New year's day at a leisurely pace- late brunch out and a walk on the beach.
Before heading out, Chad and Patty wanted to explore a bit of the redwoods, so we took a quick hike around the Tall Trees Grove up north. The weather was fantastic!
I had just finished knitting a new hat and it looked so cute on Patty that I insisted that she take it! Here it is:
