Danger's favorite game:

we had to spend several weeks without hanging toilet paper rolls on the hangers. thankfully he's gotten over this stage.

Danger and Savage spent all their sleeping time together.

Andrew put a 2nd Love Bucket kitty bed in the x-pen so they could each have one to sleep in. no thanks - they had to share one bed, kinda.

Christmas morning - opening stockings. check out that giant gold gift that didn't fit under the tree - that one's for me!

Hollie's stocking. Zoe wants to know if any of it is for her.

Renato received the gift of cheese.

Christmas morning waffles.

Danger and Savage hung out at my feet just in case I dropped something for them.

getting updated

so I'm WAYYY behind on my blogging, so I figured I would just start with the beginning. These pics were taken when our friends from San Francisco and Portland visited for Thanksgiving. We did some sight seeing in downtown Seattle. Here are the pics.

this is at Karen's movie. we're buying our movie tickets.

that day we found a hilarious video on youtube that people made, here's Michelle doing her impression. I'll try and find the video and put some special effects on this photo so you can truly understand the greatness.

At the bar - Brian points and Karen wears her santa hat.

this is when we passed them in the car. you can't see it but I'm flipping PJ off.

the view from the Space Needle.

any time you see a photo that's supposed to represent Seattle you see the Pike's Market sign. Here it is at sunset.

Alex gives a metal cut-out high five.

this is the first Starbucks. it was crowded.

another pike's market sign.

veggies for sale.

"Hell - No Warning is too Strong! Repent!" "Thanksgiving is Thanking GOD he hasn't killed you yet. The wages of SIN is DEATH! Don't be a turkey REPENT!"
