On Tuesday morning Swathi and I went on an early morning Christmas run around her neighborhood. It was fun running in the Seattle air past all of the lit houses. That was one of my favorite parts of the whole day.
After we got home and ready, the kids all jumped on Balu to wake him up. He was the kids’ favorite thing about Seattle and was so fun with them the whole time he was in town. I couldn’t believe how much patience and energy he had for them!
When everyone was ready, the kids opened their family presents:
After presents, we all played baseball outside and ended with s’mores around the fire in Clark and Swathi’s backyard. It was pretty magical.
After all of this outdoor excitement, we had mushroom lasagna and put the kids to bed. Then the rest of us lounged around enjoying the hygge feeling of being together by the fire.
