Christmas was really different for us this year. Cyril really wanted to go away for the Christmas break. The plan was to drive to Olympia, Washington to visit his brother and family and then take a ferry to Victoria to visit my sister and her family. We changed our mind several times during December (I wasn't overly thrilled with driving 14 hours on snowcovered highways) but decided last minute to just go. We left on Dec 21 and didn't get back until Jan 3. We had a really great time!
The first part of our trip we stayed in Olympia with Don and Abbi and their new baby girl Hannah. We took 2 days to drive to Olympia. We stayed in Spokane the first night at a hotel with a pool. We all had a fun time swimming after the long drive. Holton really surprised us with his love of the water because he used to be terrified.
Most of our time in Olympia was spent just hanging out at Don and Abbi's house and of course a bit of shopping. We also went back to a Children's museum that we went to the last time we were in Olympia that the kids loved.
The best part was seeing Hannah. The kids loved holding and playing with her. She is such a cutie!!
Christmas Eve we made a yummy turkey dinner.
Christmas morning we were up early. We opened up a few gifts, had breakfast and said goodbye.
Then we drove to Port Angeles to catch the 2 pm ferry to Victoria. We had a fun visit with Don, Abbi and Hannah. It was sad to leave, especially on Christmas day, but we were looking forward to spending time with Sherilyn, Jay and the kids.
