Trip to Seattle (again!)

Feels so good to be home! We went to Seattle for 2 1/2 days to celebrate Kyler's first b-day.

Ok - I am so bad about this. I started writing this weeks ago and I am just now getting back to it. I can hardly remember the trip. Let's see what I can remember . . . .

We drove down to Seattle on Monday. The plan was to go straight to Snoqualmie to spend time with Lori and Samara and to stay with them on Monday night. We were going to watch Samara on Tuesday and bring her with us to the party so that Lori would not have to go to Bothell to pick her up from daycare. This way, Lori could make it to the party on time. Unfortunately, Samara came down with pink eye so we needed to stay away for a while.

The new plan - stop by Costco and get the food for the party then go to my Aunts house to drop off the food, let the boy's nap and decorate. After naps we met Deanna, David, Kris, Jo, April and Carl for dinner at the Ram in Puyallup. We had a great time! It was wonderful to be surrounded by good friends and Family.

We headed to Snoqualmie after dinner. Brad decided to stay home the next day to care for Samara. So we got to spend the morning with Brad and Samara before heading to my Aunts house to get ready for the party.

The party was a success. My Aunt had spent a lot of time cleaning inside the house and of course the kiddos headed straight to the backyard. There were a lot of kids and they all seemed to have a great time. We ate some yummy lasagna (thanks costco!) opened gifts and got really messy with cake! I got to see a lot of people who I don't get to see very often. It was great to have them there to help Kyler celebrate!
