Leavenworth

We just got back from our annual family trip to Leavenworth this year. Sadly my brother was not back from college yet so he didn't make it for the trip, but we had a great time with my parents and my sister with her boyfriend Keiran. Luckily the weather decided it was finally time for some snow, and there was tons of snow all weekend.

We ate some german food Friday night which was fun and drank German beer of course. Saturday we did a walk along the river during the day and got lots of pictures. That evening we caught the "lighting festival" briefly (I was amazed how many people were there, it seemed like thousands and there were so many buses that brought people in from Seatle for the day... luckily the town cleared out quite a bit after the Lighting), and then went to about 4-5 wine shops in downtown Leavenworth for some wine tasting. The wine tasting was a blast and we tasted some really good local wines! We finished off the evening with a great italian dinner and more wine =).

Overall it was really relaxing and a great weekend away from the city. Here are a few pic's!

Winter updates

Haven't done a great job of blogging in a while, so here are a couple updates.

I got our house decorated for the holidays right after Thanksgiving! We had a fun time decorating the tree (Matt gave in and we got a fake tree this year... ), we got a small 5 foot tree at Target, and its the perfect size for our small house.

At my parents house Thanksgiving... my brother acquired a cut-out of Barack Obama and I had to document it. =)
