christmas in seattle

nate's brother flew out to spend christmas in seattle with us. it was so fun to have him there and show him around. we kept up on lots of traditions like riding the carousel at pioneer square + hot chocolate at dilettante, matching christmas eve pjs for just the girls this year, mexican food on christmas eve with all the balkmans, driving around to look at lights, and a beautiful new christmas dress for sage. nate and i were in heaven as we filled our plates with turkey and mashed potatoes since we missed them at thanksgiving.

beau works for nike and capitalized on his employee discount :) nike for all this year!
