Gingerbread House COMPETITION

Now, technically we should have won 1st place...but we tied for 2nd place with a group of guy friends instead. It was all in good fun, but the cupcake pop reindeer pulling santa's sleigh was wow-ing the judges either way! :)

Girls Night in S E A T T L E ! !

In celebration of miss SINAE visiting us back in Seattle from Africa, we had a girls night out in Seattle. After eating dinner out together, we thought we would surprise Sinae with a birthday wish since we had all missed her last birthday. She was shocked to say the very least :) she actually sang the Happy Birthday song not knowing the cake and candle were intended for her, oh Sinae, that's why we LOVE YOU!

Family photos at the beach TAKE 2

Brian thought it would be fun to take our photos on the lopsided stump...but it was too tall for me to jump up onto and nothing to help me step up. Brian laughed as I attempted, finally Jessica came to the rescue! She used her superhero muscle powers to lift me up :) it was quite a sight! After we finished laughing and wiping away the tears, we took some b-e-a-utiful photos!

Family photos at the beach

We attempted to get some nice new photos for mom as a Christmas gift, it was a cloudy gloomy day but we had Sunshine to make it happy and bright! :)

Christmas Eve with Kistler's

Grandma B and the Chavez family came up to Seattle to celebrate Christmas Eve with the Kistlers. It was full of tongue-sticking-gators (thanks Judy) and lots of rough housing.

Eat, Sleep, ORTHO! (in that order?)

Such a great fitting tshirt, haha get it!?! I really don't think that it neither is nor should be in this exact order. For instance, FUNNY STORY! BK came home post-call one week, was hungry, decided to boil water for ramen noodles, then proceeded to leave it on the stove for 6+ hours while he fell asleep on the couch. I came home from babysitting to find the pot burning on the stove...who needs the babysitter now? So please, Ortho, Sleep, THEN Eat. And no more cooking post call!
