December Instagrams

December Instagrams...
While we were out to dinner, a sweet lady who was a complete stranger, came up to me with tears in her eyes and told me how our little family reminded her of her family.  She was at dinner with her youngest, a son in high school, and her two older daughters (a brunette and a blonde) were away at college.  She reminded me to soak in every crazy, stressful, chaotic moment (especially during the holidays) because it goes by so fast with littles.  Making it my goal to truly soak it all in this holiday season...
 Snowflake Lane!  One of those rare nights where the rain held off, there were no three-year-old tantrums, and Everett charmed everyone with his big smiles despite missing a nap.  So much fun seeing the kids take it all in!
 Introducing Everett to our favorite downtown holiday traditions...viewing the Gingerbread houses, riding the carousel, visiting the Teddy Bear Suite, and eating (for the last time!) at the Old Spaghetti Factory...
 Checking out Santa from a safe distance...
 We lucked out with a three genuine smiles and a darling Santa this year!
 Santa Train with Grammy and Grampy!
 Holiday dinner out at the chef's table at Serious Pie...
 Can't believe he's 9 months!  He's been with us for as long as he was growing inside me and it's hard to remember our lives without him.  I don't know if his personality comes across in pictures, but he is our happiest, most smiley, easiest going baby!  He laughs at everything, smiles at everyone, and puts up with all my silly pictures :)...
 Ella looks forward to our special Nutcracker date all year long!  4th annual mother-daugther-grandma date...
 Christmas Eve date to the Hawks game!
 Zoo Lights!  Along with the rest of Seattle...
 I know I'm biased, but he's so handsome!!
 Annual fancy top, comfy pants party!  Happy New Year from the Lamens crew!
