One of my favorite months of the year! I love the Christmas festivities, time off work, and family gatherings. It made it even more fun having Briggen around to share it with us!
We kicked off the month by baking lots of cookies to give to friends/neighbors.
The First Friday event for December is always the Tree Lighting. We even stood in the long line to see get the free photo from Santa. Briggen didn't cry, but he was confused and slightly stunned. I was surprised when they asked if they could publish his photo for next year's advertising - he wasn't even smiling! But he looked pretty cute anyways. It was worth the free printed photo!

Briggen was very curious about the fireworks
A new event we attended this year was the Washougal Festival of Trees. We paid for the breakfast that went along with it - but it wasn't worth the money. Next year we will make our pancakes at home! The trees were amazing and made up for it though. Eah tree is decorated with a different theme and auctioned off for to raise money for charity.
Another tradition is to go to Zoo Lights at the Portland Zoo. Briggen's Great Grandma Fish joined in on the fun, which he absolutely loved.
I love these series of photos.
Briggen loved all the lights, but he was not impressed with the tiger!
We have had a lot of fun celebrating locally and are excited to head to Seattle soon! This year we decided not to do real tree because of the baby and because of space. So instead we have this little fake one on top of our coffee table. Next year we will hopefully be celebrating in our new house!
