The day after we arrived in Seattle, we went to a Christmas tree farm and cut down a tree for Grandma and Grandpa's house.  This the one we chose.  Pueo helped us out.

Taking a break with some hot cocoa at the Christmas tree farm.

Cheryl and Katie decorating the tree.  We had to cut three feet off the bottom because it was taller than we thought.

Pueo wanted to be the angel on top.  We said okay, but just for a while.

We visited the Pacific Science Center in Seattle.  This is how much sugar the average American consumes in their lifetime.

We woke up one morning and there was a low fog layer on the water in front of Todd's parents house on Miller Bay near Seattle.
