Washington - Dec. 29th and 30th

The next day we went back up to spend some time with my family. When we got there we took a trip up to Microsoft to take a tour of it, it was really cool!! They had a little mini-mall with a bunch of restaurants and a few shops and then we went over to see the store and pick up a few things (we got Aiden a shirt that says "future CEO" (i wish right?) and some new headsets for our xbox because we broke ours). Across from the store there was this cool room which had a picture of Bill Gates when Microsoft started out (yikes!) and had all these different products you could try out, including the KINECT which is basically the funnest thing ever. It's so neat I love not having to worry about a controller!! It's also really cool because it takes pictures of you while you're playing which is really funny to look at afterwards. I CAN'T WAIT TO GET ONE!!! Sometime over the next year, we didn't get it this year because Aiden is too little and for some reason he gets really agitated when we're jumping up and down and playing it ( he freaks out when I play my DDR game too...hahha).


The next night we went to a light show up in Bellevue. It was pretty chilly out and we somehow managed to take the long way around to get up to the thing (you had to walk over to it) but we made it and it was fun! They did tons of lights it was really pretty, and all tropical themed!

sweet boys, Aiden got that beanie for Christmas from Grandma Mim isn't it awesome!? hahha


they were so colorful!



They had a bunch of little waterfalls with lights all around them, it was pitch black outside so this is the best picture I got but they were all so pretty!


Everyone (thanks random lady for taking a picture because I did not bring my tripod)


They had this big waterfall with a waterfall of lights over it, it was really neat


at the end there was just a trail of lights leading you out but I thought it was really pretty so I took a picture


Aiden didn't seem to mind the cold one bit and just loved all the lights it was so fun!
