Ginger molasses cookies this weekend! And Meryl is an expert at rolling cookie dough balls in turbinado sugar.

Holmes gets to face forward in his car seat now! And, these moments are worth capturing for all the moments that are not:)

Eating meat on the bone (wings) while watching people talk about bones! Seattle’s Burke Museum opened its Cruisin' the Fossil Coastline exhibit via Zoom this evening with a fun peak into the gallery led by the exhibit curators, friends, and literal paleo rockstars, Paleontologist Dr. Kirk Johnson (Sant Director of the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History) and Ray Troll (Alaskan artist). 

Laughter and a show…talent, TBD:)

Compost truck at the view spot at sunset, trifecta!

Decorating the tree only took three days…legendary lights that didn’t light, a power outage, and two trips to the drug store for more:)

Twenty minutes of darkness, but long enough to build a fireplace fire and find seemingly all of our battery operated lights!

First appointment of the day to avoid the crowds and we drove away with a bold and beautiful Blue Noble Fir that just fits in the living room.

Roar dinosaur, roar dinosaur! How lovely are your golashes.

Thank goodness for this flexible crew:) Let’s see if we can keep this tree standing for a month!

No, we’re not filming a sitcom:) But we did decorate real live tree toppers with marshmallow garlands and s’mores ornaments so that Meryl’s and Holmes’ shared tree matches Grandpa’s!
