Sprinkle

My friend Ann hosted a "Sprinkle" to celebrate the up coming arrival of our baby girl. A group of 6 of my friends and I went for manicures and pedicures at a really nice spa. Ann reserved the back room in the spa and provided pastries, fruit, and mimosas (for the non-pregnant ladies). Then we all headed to the Scarlet Tree restaurant for brunch, were joined by my mom and great aunt Julie.

Aquarium

We renewed our membership to the Seattle Aquarium. We've spent several rainy afternoons visiting the fish, octopus, otters, & seals. Grandma, treated us to lunch one afternoon. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food.





The highlight of all of our visits was the day the octopus was fed by the aquarium staff. The octopus used his tentacles to grab a shrimp from the staff member and seeing the octopus fully spread out we were amazed by his size!





The boys love getting up close and seeing the fish and water mammals! The also love touching the starfish.

Happy New Year!

Games, a nice meal, dessert, and a midnight toast!
