Preschool Family Night!
Family Night at Hope's Preschool! The kids wrote and performed a short play they titled "Racecar Starbucks," in which coffee time is suddenly disturbed when a racecar comes careening through the wall at the Starbucks at 37th and Hawthorne. (It slips in some oil.) There were small-group field trips to the location for observation and set-building purposes, and the kids even made their own little green aprons (Hope drew a mermaid on the front of hers, inspired by the Starbucks logo).
Hope turned in an award-winning performance as Barista 1. The adults were supposed to notice action and call it out as it unfolded, but we were all so rapt with the adorableness, it pretty much unfolded in silence, but of course ended in thunderous applause.
Zane Turns Three, Hope Gets Hat
So our little guy turned 3 back in May... We had a big yard party (40 people! bratwurst bar!) which was a lot of fun, and also a small family gathering featuring visiting Aunt Janet.
Somehow in all of this, Hope got a new "sparkle-y" dress and yet another fabulous Xtabay hat. She promptly looked around, and decided she was too fabulous for present company. Au Revoir!

Christmas Catch-up
Sorry for the drastic rewind.......these are photos from Christmas Eve dinner at our house with the Portland family and special guest Aunt Elisa. We held the now-traditional feast of seven (or more) fishes, and tried our best to top last year. Becky brought over a heaping plate of beautiful little crab-stuffed peppers, I served a seared scallop on caviar-topped smoked salmon (3 fishes, one plate!), we had oysters, spaghetti and clams, and B baked fish in salt for the big finale. Auntie M surprised her sister with some birthday pound cake, and the kids left cookies and milk out for Santa.
