WA trip 1/2

Like I mentioned before, I left for Washington on the 26th with Elliott in tow. Josh stayed behind to work. It was a long trip to be away from him, but we stayed busy and had a lot of fun, so it went fast and wasn't too bad. Plus, with lots of FaceTime, it helped us feel closer. 

On the way to WA. She didn't like when I buckled her. 

Lazy drinker. 

I spent New Years with Alyson, Nathan and Kevin at Alyson's place. It was so fun to see her. She moved from Utah to WA a few months ago and I miss her terribly. But I got my fill while I was there, so hopefully that will last me until I see her again. 

We ate cazookies, chips and salsa, drank mini Martinellis and played games. It was a great night. And my mom babysat so I was kid free! Woo. 

Playing games. 

My mom only has a shower at her house so we used this tub to give Elliott baths during the trip. She loved it. 

I always have to go to my favorite restaurants while I'm in town and that includes Casa Mia. Yum. Elliott was being so cute all through lunch. 

Look at all those teeth!

While I was up there I also discovered a ton of new restaurants that were amazing! I can't wait to take Josh to all of them. One of the best was FIRE. It's a new pizza place in Kennewick. I went with Alyson and Nathan. It was awesome. 

Look at that pizza! Thai chicken! Yum. 

I also went to see the Senske lights with Kristin and Elliott after a delicious meal at Olive Garden. That was a great night. 

The day I got into town we got together with my brother and his family for Christmas dinner and presents. John's girls got dress up clothes so we put them on Elliott. She looked so cute! 

And that's a wrap. At least for the first half of the trip.
