We Love our Island!

The fire department covers the entire island before Christmas (a different neighborhood each night for a couple weeks) with a decorated fire truck complete with music!  And they give the kids candy canes!

Under the Christmas Tree...


One of our traditions.  The girls get to spend a night under the tree!

Merry Boating!

We got to have a fun night out with friends on the water.  We had dinner and snacks while navigating around the Bremerton area by boat.  There were about 20 boats all decorated and playing music for the crowds on shore.

This is the boat we were on...
We had Ginger Bread Ninjas...

The Harvest...

Me..."Yes...I want that one up there please!"
Chris..."Really?"
Me..."Yep!"


He's such a good sport!

Our friends....

and their trees!  

Pigeons Anyone?






Part of the cultural experience of Christmas Tree Hunting was shooting guns!  Each of us got a turn... the kids (all 4 of them) shot a .22 and I got a whirl at Chris' big gun!

Finished Product!

The After Party...



After we all had our trees.  We of course needed refreshments!  Hot Cocoa and snacks with a great view!

Olympic National Forest Here We Come...

The forest may never be the same after our 4 trucks loads....
