Marietta Square

We had another fun playdate with Jacob and Nicholas in beautiful Historic Marietta Square.  This is in Marietta in the old historic district.  It reminded me so much of Fairhaven back home in Washington. The square was decorated with cute Christmas decorations, bows, garland, and even a stage where Santa sometimes comes to visit.  We loved playing in the fountain and on the train.

The fabulous Fountain in Marietta Square.

The 'Gone with the Wind' museum in Marietta.
Although the movie is set in Georgia, not a single shot was actually filmed here.
 Every single scene was filmed in California! Oh, Hollywood!

Back in ATL

It was so much fun to be home again and see everyone. Especially Darren, my mom & Vinny. But I am happy to be back in the ATL. I missed Lucian and my German family very much. Also, I really missed the sunshine.  :)

Another sunny day at the playground.

The last of the leaves still holding on.

Christmas in Seattle

These are some of the pictures from when my mom and I went to Seattle to celebrate Christmas time.  We went to the amazing King Tut exhibit at the Science Center before heading downtown to Westlake to take in the Christmas Trees, ride the carousel, and do the Duck Tour.  It was so fun and I love sharing time with her!

The Amazing Christmas Tree Search

We went to a great new Christmas tree farm this year! It was called Hemstroms Christmas Tree farm near Machias, WA.  Not only did we find a great tree, have yummy hot chocolate, but Santa was there!!! :) Enjoy the pics!

Tree Huggers!  The tree farm had some old growth trees that they never cut down because they were amazing! We took the short walk out to them and it was definitely worth it! They were amazing!

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Christmas Time is upon us and I love it! This time of year is only made more special by sharing it with the people you love.  I was so lucky to see so many people I love while I was in WA.

New Puppy : Freija

My mom just got a new puppy!! She is an Olde English Bulldog. She named her after the Norwegian goddess of love Freija. She is such a doll. She has the greatest colors and she is so cuddly!!!

Isn't she just the cutest little thing.

She is one lucky puppy - this is the most amazing mom in the world.

Puppy chaos!

Back in Washington

I got to head back to Washington for Thanksgiving for two weeks.  It was an amazing time to be with the people I love most. I had so much fun catching up with people.  I made sure to share lots of time with Darren and Vinny. My two most important boys.  I also got lots of great time in with my mom.  It was an amazing trip and I miss them already.

The quilt we made for baby Roslyn.  Ross and Amber are expecting their sweet baby girl on January 3rd.  I hope she comes early, when I am home for Christmas! I embroidered the D and the duck! The blanket turned out so great!!
