Christmas Music

For those of you who were wondering...it is now time to play your Christmas music as much as possible. Don't let the naysayers hold you down and tell you to wait any longer!

Here are a few of my suggestions for great Christmas music.

My all-time favorite is Nat King Cole's album "The Christmas Song". As a child growing up, my dad would play this album constantly. It got to the point where my brother and I could not stand it! Now I must thank my dad for introducing me to the cream of the crop when it comes to Christmas albums.

Another old classic is Frank Sinatra's Christmas album entitled "A Jolly Christmas".

If you are looking for something a little more fresh, look no further than Mariah Carey's "Merry Christmas" featuring probably the most listened to Christmas song of our generation "All I Want for Christmas is You". You should also check out The Elf soundtrack, which is a great compilation of favorites from over the years.

For those who have a questionable taste in music, you can check out Kenny G's "The Greatest Holiday Classics".

YIKES!

Smiles!

It has been some time since we have posted, and Tucker is growing like a weed. Lately, he has just been hangin' out

He has learned to smile and coo,




and loves to go shopping with friends.


Sometimes we have playtime



and sometimes we have quiet time



... Our most favorite time is first thing in the morning when the little guy wakes us up and hops into bed (with a little help) between Marsh and I. He smiles and kicks and plays for an hour or so before we rise to start our day. It is the best.

Halloween

Next Halloween you should consider packing up the car and heading up to Snoqualmie Ridge. I'm not kidding when I say that the streets are lined with kids! At one point, we saw a group of at least 10 little ones trick-or-treating together. The sad thing is that not one of them produced a good trick when we chose the 'trick' in trick-or-treat.

Here are a few shots of Tucker as dog for his first Halloween, his girlfriend Taylor as a ladybug, and Tucker looking like a thug with his lady at his side.
