Eric and I went to the island for Christmas again this year. We opened presents at my parents house. We gave Lena a little gardening outfit since she had so much fun helping my plant pumpkins this year. She was wearing it around the house Christmas morning. Too cute. Then we went to my Aunt Barb & Uncle Bob's house for Christmas dinner. It was great to see everyone who came. There were about 30 of us there.

Anniversary Dinner
Eric and I went out for our Anniversary Dinner on Saturday in downtown Seattle. We went to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse because Eric really wanted a steak and it was near all the Christmas lights. We had never eaten there but had heard it was good. Eric made reservations online and had noted that it was our anniversary. When we showed up we were very surprised to see the with confetti hearts. Then our waiter asked us if we wanted a complimentary champagne toast. We told them we had to pass this time on the champagne toast, but we were very impressed. We had a great dinner and our waiter was amazing. He asked our name and called us by it every time he came to the table. Eric had an amazing t-bone steak. I had seafood. I wish that I could have eaten everything that was on the table but I had to skip the scallops because they were seared not cooked through as most scallops are. I did get to try a couple bites of Eric's steak that were fully cooked. I didn't get one of my own because I think it would be kind of a crime to spend that much money on a steak that is cooked well done.Then a dessert we had another surprise. They brought us an amazing free dessert. And I think because we didn't have the champagne toast they brought us an extra chocolate dessert. It was a great experience. Then we took a quick walk around the area to look at the Christmas lights. It was a great night. If you are looking to have dinner for a special occasion and want to get spoiled I highly recommend Ruth's Chris. And FYI they validate parking if you park at the adjoining Hyatt. Which we didn't know until we already parked somewhere else.

Lena's 4th Birthday
Eric, my parents and I went with Tony, Susan, Lena and Kai (Lena's cousin) to the Pacific Science Center for Lena's 4th birthday. It was a lot of fun. There were so many things for the kids to interact with. They had a great kids play area that we spent a lot of time in. And the kids loved playing with the interactive parts of the exhibits. A few things scared Lena though. She did not like the moving dinosaurs, sitting in the space pod and walking in the live butterfly room. Of all things to be scared of, I didn't think it would be butterflies. We stopped at the food court for lunch and then took a walk down to the space needle. Kai really liked watching the elevators go up and down. It was a great day. Glad to get to spend the day with my niece.
