Christmas in Pictures

We had too many Thanksgiving pictures to post here, but you can check out our Thanksgiving pics here and here. The rest of the pictures posted here are from our trip to the Seattle area to spend Christmas with Clarissa's family.

Ice Skating!


With Clarissa's Sister





Clarissa's niece Josie, learning to skate with help of John and Dad



Clarissa and Josie making Julia Childs' sticky buns for Christmas morning





Christmas would not be complete without a gingerbread Americano at Starbucks



For our 17 month lunaversary we went out on the town in Seattle which included swing dancing and yummy late night Korean food in the University district



Neices: Bailey and Josie



John experienced Dim Sum for the first time, ah Chinese food at its best!



Hiking in the cascades with Starbucks; it would feel wrong if it didn't feel so right.




Clarissa and Mom



Mom's Christmas Village... a long standing tradition


Buddy (mom's dog)


Christmas Eve= Homemade Pasta = Yum



Singing Christmas Carols on Christmas Eve



My favorite Christmas morning pic :-)

  2. Hmmm. If Africa is anything like South America, you might have to get used to Christmas without Gingerbread Americanos. Lima has a number of Starbucks, but none of them will make you a gingerbread anything. My wife is distraught...
