MEL Science

 The kids got a MEL science monthly kit for Christmas this year.  They get 2-3 experiments in the kit each month.

 Chuck the duck needed to get in the Christmas spirit too.

 Ginger Chocolate cake using macadamia flour and a caramel bourbon sauce.

 The kids love when Santa leaves matching Christmas jammies under the tree on Christmas Eve.

 Avery made me a clock

 We made Avery work for his gifts this year.  He had to open a puzzle box to get the lock picks to get this open for his gift.

My favorite part of Christmas is sitting in the calm after the gift storm.

We love to go on a night time Christmas walk to look at all of the lights.  This house is on our block and we are always impressed by how many lights he puts up every year.

Orcas!

 I signed up for text alerts when the orcas are passing by Vashon.  Alia and I had the chance to see them recently when they swam very close to Pt Robinson.
