In December, as we got ready for the holidays, Kayla ran her first 5k!  Paul got to go on a field trip with Kayla's class to the Wing Luke Asian Museum in Seattle, and we trimmed the trees at our house as well as Grandma Susan and Grandpa Hal's.  Around the middle of the month, Rachel swam the length of the pool by herself!

We also held our nearly-annual White Elephant Gift Exchange - another rousing success, except that Paul inadvertently took home the same gift he brought.

We hosted Uncle Matt for Christmas, and enjoyed visiting with Susan and David.  Then we spent the week after Christmas playing in the snow, at the Sleeping Lady Mountain Retreat, near Leavenworth WA (about two hours northeast of us).
