A Few Straggler Updates - Holiday Post 2014


Ah, Christmas 2014 ... what a fantastic two days we had. We went to a Christmas Eve church service. Alise slept in Grandpa's arms so sweetly and Grandpa was so proud.


The kids were THRILLED with their Bouncy Tent and in the weeks after Christmas, are down there multiple times a day. It's definitely made our house the party house!


Jamisen really was the perfect little Christmas helper elf. His festive sweater and great hat made him such a merry little Christmas gift for his mama! =)



WHOAH! Santa!!!! Santa visited our house. He had one last gift that he couldn't deliver through the chimney (a motorcycle, fully motorized) for Jamisen. It was mind-blowing. Jamisen was so delighted; like over-the-top insanity.


Christmas was also full of Mastermind parties! Mastermind Group (original) not only had a Christmas party but most of us spent Christmas Day (evening) together as well. Big thanks to Grandpa and Grandma Faiola for watching the kiddos so Chris and I could do Christmas night with my 'Front Row' galpals.



Mastermind Group B also threw a fun party complete with a hilarious photo shoot. Between the ice cream shop and the cookie shop, we're not lacking in sweets in that group or amazing ideas on how to take our businesses and personal lives to the next level.

FSE also had their Christmas parties. 'Twas the season for much celebration and festivities. They did it at a beautiful art gallery in town; it was hard not to shop the walls. Thankfully, two little kiddos kept us too busy to actually take home a painting or three. Hat tip to Grandparents Renoud for the fun outfits the kids are wearing. Aren't they adorable? Jamisen wanted to help Chris with the speech and at one point, climbed up onto the bench to be adorable and copy him. Awwww ...



One of my bucket list items is to meet a current or former President of the United States. I'm climbing that ladder with Vice-President Gore (and Governor Jay Inslee). It was fascinating to hear Vice President Gore's thoughts on energy independence, solar and the future of business.

As always, we are so grateful for our familys' health, the amazing parenting team that help us with Jamisen and Lily and our thriving, challenging businesses. Here's to more blessings, more laughter and more joy in 2015!
