Christmas — December 2005
Skye's Birthday
December 26th is the birthday of Jan's sister Skye, and we celebrate with a daytime trip to Tacoma's Point Defiance Zoo.
It's been drizzling rain for a week, and today is no exception. On
the plus side, we have the place to ourselves.

After the zoo, we head back to Seattle for some birthday treats.

a fun high tea
Skye tries to cut her birthday cake with a kitchen utensil whose design
Chris is working on. Chris can't help but try to document the moment,
and keeps giving Skye directions on how to pose herself for his
pictures.
It's raining (again!) the next day, so we head down to Seattle Center for some family time on the ice rink.
