Christmas kickoff

Audrey and Kate kicked off the 2011 Christmas season with some holiday festivities over the weekend. They began on Saturday with breakfast at the Cadillac Cafe to celebrate Honey Grandpa's birthday. That afternoon, they went to Mississippi Avenue to hear Mister Ben and Tyleena Fairy Funkmother perform at a Christmas tree-lighting. Then they went home -- tasting some edamame from a new Japanese restaurant on the way -- where they had Thanksgiving leftovers and decorated mini-Christmas trees with Honey (and Audrey tried on Mama's glasses). On Sunday, they went to the Advent Festival at church, where they got to decorate an Advent log, create some origami ornaments, do some other crafts, and take a few whacks at a piƱata. After church, they played together in the Fred Meyer Playland so that Mama and Dada could get some shopping done. Then, after nap time, they helped Mama put up some of the Christmas decorations and drank hot chocolate by the fire. (If the slideshow below doesn't play, click here.)
