Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to everyone! We hope that you are all having a happy holiday season. Perrie's first Christmas is relatively quiet, but I'm sure that it's only the first of many busier Christmas mornings to come!

Our friends Ryan & Andrea came over for Christmas eve dinner. We had quite a feast - swedish meatballs, yams, green beans, ... - and topped off with a chocolate salted caramel cake. It's STILL snowing in Seattle, so we'll probably have a quiet Christmas inside!

Adventure

Pre-Perrie, one of our favorite past-times was going out to eat at restaurants ... Seattle is full of great places to eat.

To celebrate her 2-week birthday today, we went to my favorite breakfast place in Seattle. She looks like an old pro already!

Given all of the snow, we are happy to have an excuse to stay in our warm & cozy house!

P.S. We really are rookie parents -- we forgot her diaper bag during our outing this morning (but thankfully, remembered the baby)

Dad

Well, I had thought that everyone might be tired of baby pictures ... but here are some more by popular demand.

Perrie and I have been lucky to have Brandon home to help us get settled. There have been plenty of dad-daughter bonding moments (Brandon can tell his diaper story later). He says "you know, she's going to be a daddy's girl" -- oh well, there are worse things!

The snow is really coming down now - I'm happy that we have an excuse to stay inside!
