Welcome, 2011, Cheers to a New Year!

To ring in the new year we went back to my hometown of Seattle. Well, I didn't exactly grow up in Seattle per say, but close enough to call it home. In fact, it was this very bay in which Spencer proposed to me in his boat at midnight, twelve years ago. Our good friends Mike & Amanda invited us to spend the holiday with them in their home. Amanda recently gave birth to their 3rd boy and it's so exciting to have that in common with them. On our drive up north Spencer had to drop off some supplies to his store in Shelton so we thought it would be fun to take the ferry from Bremerton across the sound to downtown. Our friends live on Lake Washington and so we were able to use their dock to light off some fireworks. After dinner we played sports games on their kinect for the xbox. Kinect is awesome, controller free, it was great. Later Amanda and I put in dance dance revolution for the kinect and had a ton of fun! The next morning we drove into China town and had a wonderful lunch of dim sum. Mike's Mom, who we dearly love, came out and joined us for lunch. Unfortunatey, our boys were quite sold on dim sum, but Spencer and I sure love it! We had such a great visit and cheers to a new year!
