Solvang or bust!

Josh and I were so excited to take an actual babymoon...3 nights away, with no "have to's" in our schedule. Just relaxation...and whatever we wanted! (and even though it rained almost the entire time, we weren't phased. it was still amazing!)
So, we went to Solvang, CA, which is just north of Santa Barbara - in wine country. 3 days of nothing but eating, sleeping, movies, eating, wine tasting, going to the spa (erin), golfing (josh), touring the tiny village of Solvang, which is absolutely adorable...and so much more.
my mom (nana) came and stayed with Avery...such a huge blessing! thank you, Nana!!!

So, amidst our travels to Seattle for Christmas, we lost our camera battery charger. Yep, that's us. Of course. So, haven't been able to turn on our camera since we got home. Luckily, Josh found a replacement on Ebay for the low price of $10. Hopefully it will be here soon!
In the meantime, Seattle was awesome! Great time with family...Lots of fun with kiddos...Lots of fun and eating for the adults...Avery got her first (huge) fat lip...Santa was good to all of us...And God showered us with blessings (Family, health, love, cookies, eggnog, etc.) What more can one ask for?? (No snow...but, that's okay. Maybe next year!)
