Hockey ends and soccer begins.

Jan 2014

Grampy visited in early January. We all had a great time hanging out, building a RC sailboat and walking on Manito Pond - it was cold enough to freeze over this winter!

New Member of the Family -A Cat!

We adopted a cat the other day. His given name is Woodsman. Maybe the middle name is Guthrie, and we call him Woody Guthrie?

Not what we'll do with the name. Kyra is super happy to have a kitty.

He's still a bit shy and skittish and hasn't met the dog, Ginger, yet!

Festivities

We had a great trip to Seattle. But, we weren't super good at taking photos this time around. Missing photos of aunties, grandparents and cousins. The photos uploaded out of order as well. Darn.

Xmas at Uncle Marty's. Didn't take many photos. Whoops. There's Krya, Marty, Lincoln and Matthew.

Jaguar kittens.

Matthew, Kyra and cousin Carter.

Kids were all excited about seeing the gorilla siblings groom each other.

Zoo lights

Kyra slept through most of it.

Ice skating with a hockey friend from Spokane.

More zoo photos.

Yaseen and Mateen, 2 of Matt's oldest friends came to the zoo lights with us.

Pacific Northwest Ballet and The Nutcracker.

We met up with Curts relatives - here's cousin Aiden with the kiddos at intermission.

Big family dinner at The Crab Pot.

Aunt Becking entertaining the kiddos with videos on her smart phone.

We spent New Year's Eve at the First Night celebration. It's a blast. Lots of bands and arts going on in different venues all throughout downtown. But, first you have to make a mask for the Maqurade Parade!

There's always a balloon sculpture that leads the parade. This year it was a Luck Dragon.
