Nora is 6!

Time is flying and Nora is already 6!  We had a nice family dinner with Bonnie on the big day and a kids party at the Wings Gymnastics Center on the 9th with a bunch of her friends. Nora had a wonderful birthday, got spoiled with lots of awesome presents, and was one very happy 6 year old all weekend!

When it comes to birthday cake, she chose ice cream cake for her actual birthday, and a pirate ship (with not-mean pirates) for her kids party - both good choices! The gymnastics party was a blast, as always (we've had more than a couple of birthday parties there over the years!). The kids had fun doing obstacle courses, jumping into foam pits and racing around - Nora even got to go flying like a circus performer, which was the highlight of the party for her!

It's hard to believe that Nora's already 6 years old - how did that happen?? We're so excited to see what exciting challenges and fun experience this year brings for her!

Christmas 2019!

We decided to spend Christmas 2019 with our family in Vancouver.  We opted for a road trip and left Boise on the afternoon of the 20th.  The first day's drive to Richland, WA, was uneventful and we made it there in time for dinner at Hubby's.  On the morning of the 21st it was 60 degrees in Richland and it did not feel like winter at all!  With the mild conditions, finishing the drive to Vancouver was no problem.

Our week in Vancouver was a whirlwind!  We watched a Canucks game the night we arrived.  It was a great time and the Canucks won handily.  The girls got to spend lots of time with their cousins, including their first time ice skating!  We continued our standard traditions, such as the Christmas Eve church service, Christmas Day brunch, Christmas turkey dinner, and the wacky gift exchange.

After a busy week, we headed home on the 28th.  We again stayed the night in Richland and ate dinner at Barley's Brew Pub, a nice restaurant which was once visited by Guy Fieri.  It was great to see many of our Vancouver family & friends - we had a wonderful (too short!) visit!
