Dogs and Kids

 We love having dogs in our home. Even our neighbor's dog. I grew up with big dogs, but they were never allowed inside the house.

Also I saw these body lotions at my local Ulta Beauty store. How lovely.

Feast Buffet

 A few months ago, the temple staff had a luncheon at Feast Buffet in Renton. It was so fun that we decided to return with the children. The location is enormous and has all types of Asian cuisine, which we love.

I've never been to a restaurant this large. Every food you can imagine is available.

Christmas 2016

 We enjoyed a fun Christmas with the grandchildren playing. They love to unwrap presents and play inside boxes. And boy do I have lots of treats in the house.

Katie and I made this memory quilt from Tyler's band t-shirts. It is a monster!

How we love Martinelli's!

Scholarship and Concert

 Decembers are crazy months for musicians. On Dec 15, Marnie attended an awards ceremony at Stanwood Middle School to receive a scholarship for her musicianship. And as soon as that was over, we ran to the high school to perform the Christmas concert. 

The tradition with Chamber Choir's Christmas concert is that former members join in singing Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. Marnie was chosen to sing the solo at the beginning. What an amazing day for her! Then Katie was able to join in.

It's so fun to see past members and catch up with their schooling and families.

Jim approves!
