We had 3 graduate from preschool. Austin is there in his yellow. Being on stage is not his favorite thing, can you tell? Allie and Jordan also graduated. Next year we will have 3 first graders in the family. It seems just yesterday they were little toddlers.

Promotion Time

Hard to believe Lynsie has promoted from Jr High. Next year high school. She graduated with honors and awards in Spanish and Math. Impressive. You go girl!

The Christmas rush is over, what fun!

Not in the mood for pictures. I have been so bad this holiday season, life is finally slowing down!

The only time Sammy is still is when he is eating or sleeping, and don't count too much on the eating part!

Our curly mop, what a smile!

Love those Christmas Eve pajamas!

Here's my girls, all three of them, decked out in their holiday finery!

The Witches at Gardner Village

Aren't we cool?

Guess which punkins are Bradens?

Seattle Fun

A few weeks ago when Kent went to London (sigh) I went to play with Robert and Susie. Susie is great for knowing how to play and have fun. I got to go to Pike's Market and the greatest thing was the beautiful flowers for sale, acre's of them. I also went to Mt. Rainier. It is the most beautiful mountain. I didn't get any good pictures of it far away, just freezing standing on the side, we only went up 8000 ft of the 14,000. It was 32 degrees and snowing. I love the house they have moved into. They have added their own touches to make it special. I especially loved the reading room upstairs. And Susie's porch is great. Seattle was at it's best, no rain, and the autumn leaves were amazing!
