Zulily

A month ago we got a surprise email from Zulily asking if Eliza could come in the next day for a little modeling session.  I had signed them up a few months earlier just for fun but was totally surprised they got back to me.  When I told them I would have Cole in tow they quickly lined up a few sessions for him too!

The kids had a ball.  This will definitely not be our new normal and we don't really plan on doing this again but they just had so much fun. Obviously they are so kid friendly with wagons to take you to your set, toys, snacks and everything else your kid could want.  I mean seriously - look at that dollhouse!




Hanging out in 'hair and makeup'  They loved all the mirrors and Cole was practicing his dance moves. Eliza hates when I do her hair but had no problem letting the stylist put some gigantic bows in her hair. It was adorable!



Snack break between shoots.

A sneak peek...



I was worried the kids wouldn't cooperate (especially Eliza) but they both surprised me.  They still talk about their 'modeling' and it sounds so funny coming out of Eliza's mouth.

Today Zulily sent us some of our digital photos from the shoot.  They only used a couple but we got a few extras from them as well.  So cute! I just love them!

Sun River and Portland for Mid Winter Break

Drew had a conference in Sun River OR this past winter and we made the call to tag along for a little vacation.  Things were slightly dampened by the fact that it appears Cole has developed car sickness since the summer. Ugh.  The drive was so long! However, it was worth it in the end and we had a wonderful time relaxing in an amazing little chalet, enjoying the snow, sitting in the hot tub, sledding and skating!  Couldn't have asked for more fun!  A stop at our favorite in Mt. Hood - El burro loco! A glass of wine after our 6 hour road trip turned into 10 hours due to car sickness!  Right before our Owl Walk.  We were told we could walk into the wood and hear the owls. What a bust!  3 cold and tired kids in the dark woods and no owls!  It's now a running joke in our home as the  tour guide kept 'hooting' trying to draw the owl's attention.  If we want someone's attention in the house we often hoot at each other now...

Thanksgiving

We have so much to be thankful for! We daily feel so grateful for all of the blessings in our life but it is nice to have a day to get together with family and reflect and relax. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend in Long Island, NY with Drew's 'east coast' family. Sam enjoyed his second road trip out to Long Island and did fabulous! He got to see a lot of family again and finally get to meet his Great Granny! Sam got some early Christmas gifts this year and had a lot more enthusiasm unwrapping them than we expected!

Reflections

North shore School District hosted an art walk this year to highlight student work.  The theme was Imagine and students were tasked with creating some sort of 'art' that reflected the theme.  Sam came home one day and told us that he had submitted something.  What came as even more as a surprise was when we were contacted to say his piece was a qualifier to represent the school in the district art walk.  Sam was pretty thrilled with it and with his ribbon and didn't mind at all that his piece didn't move on to the next round of judging.  His best bud Owen had his work submitted as well and they enjoyed hanging out at the art show.
