We Are Happy in New Year Part I

We started off this year with good-byes. This was kind of sad, but we consoled ourselves knowing that it is just for a while and that we can keep in touch with those we love.

Here we are saying good-bye to Will, Courtney, and Whitney. We were happy to have you stay with us and had good times!

The next morning we said good-bye to Dave and Elina as they left to return to Rexburg for the next semester. We hope your semester is a good one, you guys.  Learn a lot!

Later that day we went to Seattle and ate delicious salmon and had fun perusing the waterfront and Pike’s Place Market.

We went backwards down the Hike to Pike.

This is the view from Queen Anne Hill. A clear day in Seattle in the winter is hard to come by so the hill was busy with many people with fancy cameras. The sunset (which we saw the beginning of) was beautiful.

We also took the time to stop at Larsen’s Bakery, a Danish bakery that sells delicious pastries. It was hard to pick just a few things to take with us (and promptly eat).

We also got to visit my mom’s brother, Uncle Frank, and some of his family. Top row, L-R: Brent, Jonathan, Frank, Lynn, Ruth, Dana. On the couch, L-R: Aunt Janell, Michael, Lisa, cousin Amy, Rosanne, cousin Suzanne. Thanks for the good times, Reeves and Cheliuses!

It was a good trip to Seattle; we were very tired when we got home.
