Happy New Year!
For our friends who don't use Facebook, here are some Hattie photo highlights of 2016. Enjoy! And I hope your
 |
| January 2016: Hattie joins the fine Pickering and Way family traditions of standing in front of the heater. |
 |
| February 2016: enjoying Mama's birthday cake. |
 |
| Playing in the sink: a favorite pastime. |
 |
| Memorial Day at the local cemetery. |
 |
| Father's Day hike. |
 |
| On a roadtrip to a friend's wedding in Portland, Hattie meets Big Mac. "Mmmm! Yummy!" |
 |
Hattie flipped for summer foods: watermelon, corn on the cob, blackberries, and most of all, tomatoes and snap peas from Auntie Suzanne's garden.
|
 |
| Summer at the family's beach spot on the Snoqualmie River |
 |
Walking from the river back to the house, through the fields. What a summer!
|
 |
| Another favorite pastime--and a favorite series: Pete the Cat by James Dean. |
 |
| The wind and falling leaves were exhilarating. |
 |
| Don't be fooled by this pose: Hattie was happily wading and splashing in that cold, cold water just minutes before. |
 |
| Hattie lends a hand a the family pumpkin patch. |
 |
| We got Hattie a pumpkin costume to wear at the patch, but she screamed and screamed in it. So for Halloween I let her pick out a character hat and we did a simple Grover ... |
 |
| Thanksgiving 2016: after dinner, napping while Mama watches Elf. |
 |
| Decorating the tree as she does all things: thoughtfully, carefully. |
