Some mid-December action

This is Jon. Like everyone else, December's calendar is packed with family parties, school events and time with the immediate family. Here's a little glimpse of our December.
Delaney's Kittitas Valley Community Choir group, the Allegros, sang at the CWU Music Hall once again. Very fun to see. This was just a couple of weeks after singing in Downtown Ellensburg's Moments to Remember the day after Thanksgiving. She's a busy singer.
We headed to Leavenworth for the town's annual Christmas tree lighting festival. It's an incredibly popular event and last weekend's festival was packed. I'm pretty sure all of the I-5 corridor was in attendance. The good thing is it snowed all day and the sledding hill, while beaten down a bunch, provided ample entertainment.
There's us in the middle. Yes, I was having fun as well.
A couple of family shots.
The main Christmas tree. I got videos of everything, but like in some recent previous posts, I'm having a difficult time posting videos.
And videos would be great to have with the kids' school Christmas program. No political correctness in KTown as we're singing about Christmas the entire time, not the holidays. Awesome. This background was put together by me, Brittany and a few other parents over the course of a couple of days. Honestly, I just stood on a ladder 20 feet in the air and hung the blue backdrop, Brittany and team did the rest. Actually pretty proud of my wife.
Delaney is in there, behind the dude in the tie. The twins in the front right are in Adelyn's class and they're good friends.
There's Adelyn in the red.
Annual Christmas party at Terry and Cheryl's and once again Santa came to visit.
Both girls got to spend a little time with the big guy.
Family photo with Saint Nick.
Not going to lie, even I get into it. Duane was giddy like a school girl as well.
Delaney helping Santa sing Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
After handing out gifts, taking pictures and singing, Santa read stories to the kids.

Quarterly update from KTown

Spring sports with Delaney playing volleyball for the second straight year. This year was noticeably different as her league included fifth through eighth graders. Adelyn with her second year of softball. Again, a noticeably different level of competition. Delaney will eat anything, just like me. Food is fun, especially when you try new things. We're at the Crab Pot along the Seattle waterfront and we got a seafeast of salmon, crab, clams, mussels, shrimp, sausage and corn. It was deee-lish. Dee Dee and her shrimp...right before she ripped its head off to grub down. Kittitas day at the Mariners game. 80 of our closest friends from KTown in attendance. Took Adelyn and Brittany to Saltwater State Park. Adelyn loved the shells, crabs and the clams underneath the surface squirting water. On our way home, we got stopped on the pass for the roadwork blasting. Took the opportunity to snap a few pics of this beauty. Adelyn with my hat, a rain coat, pajamas, ten...

When Mommy's sick and Daddy's in charge...

...this happens... Addy is potty training (quite successfully and very quickly I might add) so she's pretty much pantsless 24/7. She doesn't usually wear Brittany's boots, though. That's Addy again, wearing Delaney's wicked witch hat. Don't know where she got it. Delaney and her sunflower she's been growing since the last few days of school. It finally bloomed at the beginning of this week...and Delaney's wearing Mommy's boots now.

Adelyn Blair turns 4!

This is Jon. We celebrated Adelyn's 4th birthday party over the course of a few days. Parents party, grandparents party and kids party. She was very spoiled. Can't believe this girl is four! Addy Bear with her new Barbie Bike. Two lovely ladies... Getting ready to dig in... She looks like she's ready to hit the town in her new outfit. A big boost in her piggy bank! My two girls lookin' cute. I think she looks adorable in these two pics!
