2 Work Parties and Other Happenings

So yeah, I started the month thinking I was going to blog every day until Christmas, but not surprisingly I totally haven't kept up with that.  But here's what's happened since I last updated.
 
On Friday the 11th I chaperoned the girls' field trip to an edited-for-school-children-on-field-trips performance of the Nutcracker at the Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue.  Olivia really liked it but Kayley said it "didn't make sense".  I didn't get any pictures but this one was taken at school on a different day (Olivia wore a nice outfit to the actual event).  That evening we went to my work group's Christmas party.

 
 
On Saturday the 12th we did our annual drive around the neighborhood to look at lights.  I just love doing that.
 
The girls had a Girl Scout meeting/Christmas party on Wednesday night and they went caroling in the neighborhood.  Fun.
 
On Thursday there was another work party, this one for the entire Engineering Department.  That one is earlier and company sponsored, so our first drink and food was paid for.  Yippee.  Spouses are invited but Paul had to be home with the girls.
 
Today we are heading to Seattle to check out the gingerbread houses at the Sheraton Hotel and ride the carousel at Westlake Center.  I used to love going to Seattle around the holidays but since the girls have been born we never have.

Transfer Anniversary

Today is the 5-year anniversary of my embryo transfer!  5 years ago today I became pregnant with my girls (I wrote about it in more detail a few years ago).  It was a Saturday that year, also. Olivia and Kayley at 3 days post conception (wish I knew which one was which): And Olivia and Kayley 5 years later: That photo is actually a few weeks old.  I tried to take one for today and this is what I ended up with: {Sigh}

First Snow of 2025

Yesterday it snowed for the first time this year.  I love when it snows when I don't have to go anywhere and can just stay home and admire it.  It snowed more today, and we took Kona out for a walk in the woods.  So pretty.

Senior Prom

Last Friday was the girls' Senior Prom.  A whole group of them met at a nearby park for photos, then they broke off into smaller groups and went to dinner and Prom.  Olivia and her group rented an Air B&B for the night, and Kayley spent the night at a friend's house with another friend or two. Olivia and Gavin (just friends) Everyone Just the guys Just the girls Olivia and Kayley
