Christmas in Washington - Part 1

Okay are you ready for a mass amount of pictures?!?! I figured the best way to do this was in 2 Parts - Part 1 is our Christmas in Lynden and Part 2 is our Christmas in Seattle! We took about 450 pictures over the two trips, so I picked a few to highlight the trip :) Enjoy!!

Part 1 Lynden - We had a wonderful time in Lynden visiting with all of our family! There were many great get-togethers that we were able to go to, which gave us the opportunity to see so much of our huge family. A few other highlights included but were not limited too; Dad (Scott) taking Mark shooting with Trevor and LD at the Stremler Gravel Pit, I got to do a bit of shopping, Mark going to the Seattle Seahawks game against the Balitmore Ravens with Trevor and me spending time with Mom, the sisters, brother- in- laws and Brock.

Caitlin was such trooper on all of our flights - she slept the entire time! Here she is in the Seattle Airport on the way to Bellingham -

It was her first time in an airplane and she is going to be quite the traveler.Brock was so great with Caitlin - he would call her Baby Caitlin and hop up on the couch next to a pillow to hold her! He knew if he put his arm on the pillow he could hold her! He gave her so many kisses, what a great cousin he is already!!Papa with his grandchildren! As you may know Brock loves Papa's tractors - this was on Christmas Eve Day! Brock got to go for a ride on the red tractor!Grandma and CaitlinAunt Tasha and CaitlinAunty Shannon, Uncle Dave and CaitlinUncle Trevor and CaitlinAunty Chelsea and Caitlin (might I add she was up from SPU for Christmas Break!!) Here is all of us Christmas Eve enjoying a wonderful dinner!!

Another highlight of our trip was going to visit Caitlin's Great Great Grandma Van Dalen.

This is who Caitlin was named after and was a very special moment for all of us.Great Great Grandma, Papa, Mommy and CaitlinWe also had the blessed opportunities to go and see Caitlin's other Great Grandparents!
