Yesterday, for his birthday, Mr. took Carter up to the Summit to go skiing, because work and kindergarten are highly overrated.
I know I’m a terrible mother.
When Mr. got home with our elated 6-year-old in tow, we loaded the littles up into the car and drove to the city to see the lights and ride the Christmas Carousel. I love a city at Christmas time.
When we finished walking the streets we made our way through Pike Place market, down the long steps to the waterfront and ate dinner at Ivers, Mr.’s favorite.
I’m so in love with Seattle, I can’t imagine how we ever didn’t live here.
And for the record, as far as I can tell, it doesn’t rain nearly as much as everyone says it does.
When we got home, and after Mr. blew out his candles, I asked him what he wanted to do with the rest of his evening.
He said he wanted lay by the fire together and read.
Since there are few things I love doing more than cuddling up with a good book (er-Kindle) and reading, Mr. is pretty much a dream spouse.
We both have birthdays around the holidays, a fact which I have always lamented.
But last night as I drifted off to sleep under the Christmas tree, I decided it might not be so bad.
ps. I finally got a twitter account. I know, welcome to the new century, Cori. Want minute by minute updates of me doing all sorts of riveting things like making lunches and brushing my teeth? Follow along here.
Love the tweed blazer! I wish we had an H&M where I live. Sounds like you guys had a fabulous birthday celebration! I am still not with the times — I haven’t gotten on Twitter or Pinterest. I just don’t have the time. But I do get your Facebook updates :)
always love shots taken at a rail road track, and that blazer is just perfect!! sounds like you have an amazing husband!! jess http://www.jesscauseblog.blogspot.com
Well, as you know, his Kindergarten truly is highly overrated.:) What a great day, and such a fun memory for Carter and your hubby. Seattle is so perfect at Christmas time. I love it.
Very cute! I must warn you though, it isn’t normally this rainless! I’m just hoping we don’t pay for it with torrential downpour for 60 days straight or something : )
That fits you really well…in the shoulders and everything. Great outfit! You’re convincing me that I need shoes like that…and riding boots. Ah, but I need money!
This is a very cute outfit. All your outfits are cute. Questions…Do your jeans from LOFT have stretch in them? I was looking at their website and bought a pair in a dark color and realized they have stretch in them which I am not totally in love with.
Cute!
Sounds like a fantastic birthday evening to me! Cute outfit!
Love your outfit. And that whole reading by the fire thing – yeah, I could totally handle that.

this is a great outfit. I love the way your jacket comes together at the back of the waist.
Look out, though. now everywhere else seems disappointing after living in the Seattle area. My man and I can’t imagine ourselves anywhere else.
Sounds like a great day/night in my book!

Sounds just perfect. It will rain, but you’ll love it.
I’m going to follow you on twitter. It’s a pretty rocking time talking about brushing ones teeth and such.
@TBlendings is me.
You are seriously the cutest thing ever!
Seattle is amazing…but I promise the rain will come. And it will go on and on and on. But it is still the most beautiful city in the US.
Cute polka dot top with that blazer!!!
