The Nutcracker in Seattle at The Pacific Northwest Ballet

I was so excited !! Lonnie got me tickets to the Nutcracker Ballet for my birthday !!! I have been wanting to go to this for years !!! I had gone years ago in Spokane with my dad. He had taken us when the kids were very little, so it had been about 20 years since I had been, We got to the theater and went and had a bite to eat before the ballet. We got to our seats and they were very good.. we were on the 5th floor in row H. We could see everything. I hope to go again next year and maybe take the kids and Takayo to see it in Dec. .. Thank you so much for my bday gift !! I loved it !!! 

Thanksgiving

HAPPY THANKSGIVING !!!!!!  This year we had Thanksgiving again at the house again. Lonnie did the turkey like always and it turned out I think the best it has ever been !! It was so good ! And this year we didn't try to burn the house down.  We had all the regular fixings and at around 3ish.

Liz's Birthday

Happy Birthday to me !! I turn 47 this year !! We went to dinner the weekend before my actual birthday.. we didn't want to eat a big birthday meal and then Thanksgiving dinner the next day. We went to one of my favorite places.. Stanley and Seafort's in Tacoma. Kayleigh and Alex went with us :)

Mustache Dache in Seattle

I was in the mood to run another 5k, so I talked Lonnie into doing the Mustache Dache in Seattle with me. It was a lot of fun and a pretty route to run. Not to mention my best time so far !!!  AND, I got my first medal !!!

Happy Halloween !!!

This year Kayleigh and Alex went to Portland for a party with their friends.. Alex was a "banana King" and Kayleigh was a monkey... it was pretty cute !! Nick sent me a picture of him and his girlfriend Katie and a prisoner and a cop.  Lonnie and I stayed home and handed out candy.. Lonnie dressed like a banana and then changed to a mask of a horse head... kids loved it and kept asking "why are you dressed like a banana?" ha ha... after trick or treating was over, Lonnie and I went to a movie :)

Pumpkin Patch

This year we went to Spooners Pumpkin Patch again.  We had gone there a few years ago. This time Alex could not go with us because he was out of town with work. But we went and had fun. We got some hot cider and some mini donuts. and ended up with three pumpkins.

Lonnie's Birthday !

I made it home from Texas in time for Lonnie's birthday !! He turned 46 this year !! We got dressed up and went to one of our favorite places to eat. Kayleigh and Alex went with us and it was fun to get dressed up and go out. Happy Birthday Babe !!
