Clare looked fantastic on defense in her first basketball game of the season!






Winter hits the two with an assist from Sledge.

Building a gingerbread house.


Helping me with our Christmas cards.

Clare's letter to Santa. I love the illustrations -- especially Xander ripping into his presents.

X has been staying up late with me, watching tv together after everyone else is asleep.

Ten years in and our artificial, pre-lit tree is starting to slowly give up the ghost.

Fun Christmas goodies from Grammy Eve!


After we impressive blocks in game one, we taught Clare the Dikembe Mutumbo "no no no" finger wag move. 

Headed to the last day of school before break, with candy canes to pass out to friends.

Posing with our neighbor Evangelina at Syd's birthday bowling party.



Happy after going undefeated on day one of the Whatcom County HoopSlam tourney.



Some of X's highlights

Champions -- second year in a row!

Posing with the eighth grade team, who they practiced with all week leading up to this tournament -- and who also won the championship in their division. Go, D-Block!

Xander's take on holiday decorations.

We went looking for eagles, bundled up to stay warm.






Followed by brunch at Rifugio's on the Mount Baker Highway.



Last ones up...

Clare and I had fun playing around with Instagram filters.





Emily's in town from Oakland!




Continuing our Christmas Eve tradition of hanging out with the Winters for a bit.
