Alabama and Aunt Janie visit

Well the Alabama crew finally made it to Seattle after a major snow storm delay in Denver.  It was so fun to have them and Aunt Janie here to celebrate Xmas.  We did lots of fun things but as usual just hanging out was the most fun.  We kept on schedule even with our little hiccup :)  Enjoy the pics

Went to a botanical garden where everything was in lights, it was pretty amazing and had a blast.  Tons of people but we rolled with it. 

Syd was looking at a girl on a fountain and the girl looked sad and she was very concerned for this girl, it was sweet.

hard to capture how awesome this all is with a picture

Hanging out electronic style

Aunt Janie has an ipad that was a big hit.  We all wanted to steal it from her :)

We love self portraits

happy as a clam

My pics got mixed up, boo, here we are back at the gardens

Once Sean and Glynn's elves arrived they all got into a ton of trouble together

Gingerbread time....or breakfast...whatever

These all turned out so cute

Cooking time, everyone got a chance to get some cookin done

Making reindeer food for Santa's reindeers (Ty was trying it for them just to be sure)

Time to do some tubing, a great day to play in the snow

This was a lot of physical effort on mom and dad's part draggin these guys around but they had a blast, totally worth it

Decided to take rope tow up to help survive.  Look at Ty, dude hasn't stood up since we arrived haha, he's worn out

Could stayed here all day.  Look how sweet that face is

And this is a face that is not happy tubing is over.....And I mean knock down drag out tantrum
