I Love My Mom.

Why is it that time always flies when you're having fun?  Because the weekend of the 7th went at super sonic speed.  My mom was able to make a "last minute" trip out here for some good ol' quality time.  We were able to spend the whole day saturday (in comfy clothes!!) making and baking Christmas treats.  If it is one thing I enjoy doing with my mom it is baking, cooking and crafting.  Josh and I were able to take her around to see all the fun decorations in Bellevue (SNOWFLAKE LANE) and Seattle (Pikes Place Market).  Here are a few pictures from our fun holiday weekend...

First night in Seattle- grabbing some mexican food for dinner!
rolling out our pretzels
the start of our Grasshopper Mint Bark


stealing some delicious chex mix straight from the oven
the perks of having a husband who works for Starbucks and therefore the additional perks of being our guest...there's still time people! :)

"Snowflake Lane" where it "snows" every night in Bellevue! (snow = tiny bubbles that actually look like snow)
Dinner at an Irish Pub

Bellevue Mall
Late night craft time!


Mars Hill Rainier Valley







Lunch at the "Athenian" located in the market- delicious!
