Weekend Update

We went to Leavenworth with Brady's parents and it was stunning.

We lucked out with the weather! It was 60° and sunny the entire weekend. We arrived on Friday afternoon and immediately went outside for a walk through the park. Our walk ended at a brewery (surprise, surprise). We strolled main street - eating, drinking, and shopping. 

See yellow leaves = take a photo

Taking in the scenery with my girl

 Evie loved it

 My favorite color is yellow. I was in heaven.

 Moutain views

 Beer Garden

I went for a run on Saturday morning and it was prettiest run ever. The views were incredible - blue skies, morning frost, autumn foliage, and the Wenatchee river😍

 Fog lifting

 Stunner

Brady and Brice went golfing on Saturday. Ann, Evie and I went downtown for a bit more shopping, eating, and drinking. We sat outside soaking up sunshine and wandered around the downtown area. It was so nice and relaxing. We met up with the guys for dinner and drinks. 

 Cute little shops

 I don't know what's better... Leavenworth in autumn or Christmastime

 The Gingerbread Factory for lunch

New books from Nana

 We got Evie her first stuffed animal. She loves her bunny.

 Cider flight🙌

We hiked the Icicle Gorge Loop on Sunday. The sun was shining. The views were breathtaking. Plus, it was stroller-friendly! Brady and I were enamored. We've been talking about living in the mountains since this hike. 

 Boys must throw rocks in the river

 Pretty views everywhere you look

 Playing with Dad and Grandpa

It was such a great weekend and so good to have family around! Evie loved spending time with her Nana and Grandpa. She was thoroughly spoiled.

Leavenworth, WA

We went to Leavenworth for Christmas this year! 

We went to Leavenworth in 2014 (posted here) and we were excited to go back. It's the most festive Bavarian-themed town. We got extra lucky with the weather this year - lots of snow on the ground with sunny, blue skies. 

We were initially planning on going back to Whistler, B.C. - where we spent Christmas 2015 (posted here), but we decided to hold off until I can ski again. However, we did try cross-country skiing this weekend and it was much more fun than I expected. I still prefer downhill, but this was perfect for pregnancy or anyone with a new babe - we saw lots of babies in carriers.

Brady looked like the Griswold's neighbor and it was hilarious 

Beautiful views everywhere

Too much fun

Christmas Eve

So much sunshine 

Ski selfie

I really like this candid of Brady for some reason

Baby's first ski session

Lots of powder

We spent some time wandering around town - eating, drinking, shopping, and admiring the Christmas lights.

Storefronts and restaurants aglow 

Icicle Brewing was Brady's favorite

Heaven for him 

Ate way too many pastries 

So bright 

Caroling in the gazebo 

We went for a walk along the Wenatchee River, which was the most picturesque winter scenery. This makes me want to move to a mountain town!

The sun felt so good
