Christmas 2013, Happy New Year, and a Winter Catch-Up

Christmas and new years have come and gone! We spent most of the holidays close to home, enjoying time with family and friends, and enjoying the holiday (back) in our Seattle home. Here's what we've been up to.

New Years 2013!

Happy 2013! Where did the year go? It was a bit of a wild ride this year... and despite a few unexpected turns, life feels pretty darn good right now.

We didn't go all-out this year for New Years Eve-- we had a quiet dinner at home and then went to a friends house (Kate, Ben & their 21-month old son Jackson) to watch NYE fireworks and let the kiddos play. We've had a few days off here and there for the holidays (Eric more than me), and have been getting up to the mountains as much as possible. Here are a few photos of New Years, and other random fun times the last week:
