Visiting the Northerner's

This year, we visited the Speckeen's a little later in January than usual. Generally, we make it up north for the annual New Year's Speckeen Celebration, but weren't able to make it this year due to work schedules. However, without all the celebrations happening, we had a VERY relaxing and fun time....
Elijah loves taking baths at Grandpa and Grandma "Stateens" because the tub has no texture on the bottom, which makes slipping and sliding around perfect for our wild boy.
We don't have our hearts set on Elijah being an athlete... He loves music and reading! We are so glad he takes so much interest in these "nerdy" things... We hope he pursues his love for music because he's showing so much potential.
Uncle Will took Elijah outside in the snow to play with the dog... they had a blast, but I'm pretty sure Uncle Will was exhausted!
He got a hold of someone's goofy glasses...How cute is he?!
Jeremiah and I were able to get together with some of our Northern Friends. While we missed the friends who weren't able to make it, we had a blast! We went bowling and I failed miserably, but Jeremiah did awesome
Definitely not just a bowling ball...
So serious... Guess you have to be to get the scores he got that night
My Aunt and Uncle let us visit so Elijah could have a chance to ride the snowmobile! He loved it! It was so cold out, so I had to make him come inside much sooner than he preferred... that made him pretty "angry!" but his Great Auntie gave him some hot chocolate and a brownie and it was all good.
Getting a ride from Grandpa in his Tonka Truck- his Christmas present from the Speckeen Grandparents! He loves that Truck!

  1. Looks like a wonderful visit.
    Now I'm going to try to bribe you. . .I have a big tub, and I'd let little Eli slide like crazy.
    We don't have a snowmobile, but we have some cool hiking paths to the sound. Many times we encounter sea otters at the beach.
    Mount Rainier is always a draw, not to mention the fish throwers at Pike Place Market.
    Any interest? Please come see me. . .
