yesterday we celebrated Christmas… I arrived here the evening before, so we put Christmas off by a day, lol…

when we got up in the morning – not until 7 am;-)… we opened the very full stockings and then all the gifts under the tree were distributed… our family tradition is that the youngest passes out the presents and they are opened one-by-one around the circle so that we can see what everyone got…

the same process is followed for stockings (which come from Santa) and that happens first… it was a wonderful time and the gifts were all carefully chosen…

then we prepped for our Christmas breakfast… crepes, made the night before, in the crepe pan that my beloved gave the kids a number of years ago… to fill them there were scrambled eggs, cooked onions and peppers, turkey bacon, grated cheese, strawberries with whipped cream, apples and cinnamon…

delicious meal after all the fun of sharing gifts…

woke up around 5:30 but went back to sleep as we are sharing a room and I didn’t want to wake up the kids… I slept really well, and barely moved all night…

got out of bed around 7:30 and dressed in shorts for our day and checked email, Facebook and Pinterest… yay for reasonable wifi…

searched for a shoehorn and eventually found one…

had crepes in Pike’s market with goat cheese, spinach and herbs… then we walked around… my goodness it is big… blocks and blocks long and we were only on one level… gorgeous flowers everywhere and it smelled divine… we lost Ron, and Cyndi went searching for him a number of times…

had a piece of chocolate from a chocolate store and then had a lovely time wandering through the Seattle Art Museum…

ate and bought Fran’s Chocolate and had a nap back at the hotel… then on to Seattle Glass Blowing Studio to blow some glass… I wore new jammie pants with crabs on them because you were supposed to wear cotton and I didn’t have anything so bought them yesterday… made a purple float for the pond and Cyndi made a gorgeous bowl with flecks of orange in it… saw some beautiful glass in the shop…

after changing (or I wasn’t allowed to go!) we headed to Lola for dinner… then we picked up Brie and crackers and had a snack with wine in our room…

sorted out all our purchases and headed to bed… tomorrow is our last day in the USA…
