Sasha's Birthday

Sasha turned 1 on February 8th and I made cupcakes and made Sasha sit for us to sing happy birthday to her!

Cats

My cats are spoiled rotten! When we got our couch today (and I finally let the out of the bedroom) they had to inspect the new couch. Was putting a box together for my dad and brother and Sasha is sitting on the box the minute I step away from it. Was putting a box together for Amandine and Thierry, and again, Maggie is in the box (there was already clothes in it) and Sasha had to sit in the boot box. Now to get pictures of us attacking them with the nerf guns! We have over 100 darts that we will shoot at them all at once!

New Furniture

We've been in Everett for 15 months and we finally got livingroom furniture. Before this, we had a Walmart futon. Now this place is comfy, cozy, and so much better!

Day in Seattle

I went to Seattle today with two gal friends. Chelsey took us to some of the touristy spots for us to say we've been there. Saw the troll under the bridge, and yes, I picked his nose, shook hands with Lenin who came before Stalin and is the father of modern communism, rode a pig, added my gum to the gum wall (no I did not likc it), walked thru pike place and saw them throwing fish, then stuffed ourselves at red robin (I had to call Rachel to know what to order, I hate menus)

Eric stayed home playing his video games as it was girls day.

I got locked out on the balcony today

Needless to say, I am a dork. I went outside today to get a Cedar Plank to get it ready for grilling fish tonight, had the sliding door bar lock secured to the door, but didn't want the cats to come outside with me so I closed the door, and it fell. So I called the ships quarterdeck playing poor me, they asked me what happened and I explained. 5 minutes later I get a phone call from Eric laughing, saying Divo said it was ok to laugh. Leaving the ship, everyone on the quarterdeck was laughing at him too. At least its a good laugh and it wasn't too cold, even though I could see my breath. Sat outside for 45 minutes and Eric came home and rescued me.

This is worth a laugh!

Christmas tree time!

We went tree hunting this weekend and now my house smells of Christmas! We didn't go to a tree farm but to the Naval Radio Station Jim Creek and for $15 we got to wander and pick out our own special tree. Eric loved being up there, if we stay in Washington I tihnk we'll move up to Arlington or further. The tree is bigger than we thought but its still pretty. The cats have been sleeping under it on our blue tree skirt and Sasha loves sniffing the branches. I'm just excited to have a tree and pretty lights and my ornaments on different branches.

Surprise Activity

The other day I surprised Eric with a Christmas craft. We decorated sugar cookies!
