Trip up North to Auntie's House



Happy Girl
 
Emily had an event-filled weekend up in Kirkland with her Auntie who went to China with us. We made our annual trip up north for a holiday weekend after a special night last Friday helping Belen celebrate her 9th birthday. My Sugarplum is so special to me and Emily! We love her so very much and we are blessed to have her in our lives! Have a GREAT 9th year Belen!

Saturday we headed out for Kirkland, and Emily was very excited to see Auntie Mary Jo, The Captain (aka Janice), Tammy, Olivia, Nick, Grandpa Darrell,  Grandma Anne, Uncle Mark, and Robbie. Most of all Emily was SO HAPPY to see all of the animals: Sasha, Spencer, Bailey, Katie, Frankie, Kimmy, and Spock. Closest and dearest to her heart would be Sasha, Auntie's big black love of a dog! She did much better this time with being gentle with ALL of the animals. Emily gets SO EXCITED around that many people and that many animals that it does take a lot of reminding to be gentle! :-)

Saturday night we went to the greatest event downtown Bellevue called Snowflake Lane. It was the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. Hundreds of people on Bellevue Way to see drummers, snow princesses, Rudolph, penguins, and LOTS of snow (soap bubbles) coming from everywhere off the rooftops of Macy's and Crate and Barrel, as well as out of the snow machine right in front of us! Emily was in heaven and loving every minute of it!

Sunday, Emily had a fun time playing with Nick's daughters, Madison and Zoe. In the afternoon, after a good nap, the whole gang came over for our holiday gathering. We had good food, laughs, drinks, music, presents, fun, family, and friends. A blast was had by all, and again I must say that Emily, Julyn, and I are truly blessed to be a part of the Liechty family. Love you guys, (as Emily says).

We also helped Julyn celebrate her 47th birthday on Saturday as well! Happy Birthday JuJu! We love you!

Enjoy the pictures from our marvelous weekend!
Love,
Kathy
