Christmas 2012



December 23-25, 2012



Reindeer Chance wishes you a Merry Christmas! 
On the 23rd we went to Lowe’s since their Christmas decorations were on steep discount. We bought 1 reindeer & 2 white metallic does for $10 each! Joe tried to convince me to get blow-up lawn decorations, but I said no for many reasons but mostly because we ended up going so overboard with other décor that we could barely fit Nikki & her luggage in the car since we picked her up from Seatac airport right afterwards.

We put all 3 white deer & 6’ Christmas tree together on Christmas Eve to make sure they worked. It made for a festive gift-opening Christmas morning.

Chance loves her new tweeting bird toy from Nikki.

Nikki sums Christmas morning at our place well: The tree doesn't fit in the living room and the reindeer got inside! 
Everyone seemed to have the same idea as us on a rainy Christmas day, to go to the movies. We went to Alderwood Mall and the Hobbit had already sold out so we went to go see Jack Reacher instead. Joe really enjoyed it because he has read many of this book series by Lee Child. Tom Cruise wasn’t that believable as someone that could hurt a man 6’ tall 220lb, which are the numbers for Jack Reacher’s character in the book. Mark Walberg would have been better casting in my eyes.
After the movie we drove down to Seattle to see Candy Cane Lane, a cute pocket of homes decorated for the holidays.
