We're traveling this Christmas, but before we left Seattle, we were given one of the best Christmas presents ever! It started with a special Doughnut Day with Daddy! Rooke filled up his good behavior chart and chose to get a doughnut with Daddy.
The kid behind Rooke is wondering how he can snag a doughnut that big!
After gobbling their doughnuts, we cashed in on our amazing overnight date gift! My dear friend, Jessie, and her husband offered to keep the kids overnight!! We've only had the pleasure of doing that one other time (before Gretchen was born), so we were completely blown away by the offer and thrilled at the opportunity to have an extra long date! We did several of our favorite things that aren't as kid-friendly: saw a movie, ate pho for dinner, walked a lot, slept in, slept in, SLEPT IN! and went out for a relaxing breakfast. Rooke and Gretchen did great and had fun playing with their buddies, James and Saisha. Thank you, Heavilands!
The best french toast I've ever had! This is now in both of our top three breakfast spots in Seattle!
Together again, we did a little family present-opening at home before we left for our trip.
Rooke scored some new cars from Auby and Scott . . .

Yay for overnight dates! And those blocks are great - I know they'll be using them for years.
