Christmas 2013

We had an AMAZING Christmas in Seattle.  Every single person on my side of the family was able to be there, the kids loved being with their cousins, and us adults stayed up playing games, talking and playing four square (a Marcum family favorite).  Here's our trip in pictures.  Not even close to all of them, but some of my favorites.

Will loved "playing" with Max... pulling his tail, stepping on his toes and poking him.
Pete and I got out for a kayak on the Puget Sound one morning.  Foggy and cold, but absolutely beautiful.

Launching balloons with Grandpa with a note attached asking the person who finds it to e-mail us and tell us where it was found.  We got a few e-mails back.
