15 Months + 1 Week: Caroling, Children's Museum, and Apple Cup

By -
Hello! Our pictures from this weekend didn't turn out very well, but here's what I've got. :) On Thursday Aunt Michal babysat Kenley so Michael and I could go out. Here's they are hanging out!

This is a common scene at our house - Kenley surrounded by a huge pile of books and flashcards. She trips herself every time!
Michal reading!
On Friday night, we all headed downtown for holiday festivities, including the annual caroling contest! Here is Kenley with the tree at Westlake Center.
Our crew - Finn, Rachel, Rike, Kenley, Duncan, and Chris.

Michael and Kenley meet a nutcracker.
On Saturday, we went to the Seattle Center to check out the Seattle Children's Museum (Thanks for the gift certificate, Katy and Marcus!). Here are some photos from the visit.




We had lunch and enjoyed holiday tunes in the Center House!


Then, after a long nap, it was time to watch the Apple Cup with Daddy! Go Huskies woof woof! Bananas make great football snacks.

Kenley is an English name and has been used for both boys and girls and also as a surname. It means "Royal Meadow" pr "the King's meadow" and is the name of a town in England (in Surrey). According to the social security website, Kenley is the 998th most popular name ...
