Alivia’s first Christmas was a huge success! In fact, we got to celebrate twice. Once with Nonna in Austin and then again in Washington at Aunt Brandi and Uncle Mike’s house.

After celebrating Christmas in Austin we jumped on a plane (Livi’s first!) and flew to Washington to spend Christmas with the Howes family. Alivia was pretty sick for the flight but was a great sport. A little fever and throw up won’t keep her down!
After spending 5 nights in Stanwood we drove to Olalla to visit my Uncle John and Patty. They spoiled us rotten with an amazing dinner, lots of wine and really good times. They even got Alivia her first Mother Goose book!
For our last day in Washington we met Brandi and Mike in Seattle to check out the fish market and Pikes Place. It was a cold but beautiful day! We fell in love with Washington and can totally understand why so much of our family lives there. What an awesome place! Thank you everyone for making our visit so special!!
