This has been one of the whitest Christmases that NorthWest Washington has seen in a long time - and it has been beautiful! James and I got home just in time for the whirlwind of blizzards we've experienced day after day....and I realize that for people having to drive to work it's been difficult, but for us hanging out in our PJ's at home it has been wonderful.
It snowed all day Christmas Eve, and then it snowed for a few hours Christmas morning. The flakes were large and thick and glorious. We had tried playing in the snow a few days before Christmas, but it was only 15 degrees or so and the snow was like white dust - you couldn't form it into a snowball or a snowman very easily (although James claims we just weren't trying hard enough). So last night, on Christmas Eve, James and I and all of our siblings went for a late night sledding adventure at 1:00 AM. It was SO MUCH FUN!!! Jessica even rounded up a shopping cart for us try out - she had just come back from Colorado and claimed it was great fun when she did it there. But it looked more like a huge catapult machine, so we decided to stick with sleds. There are some great pics of us sledding, but I'll have to put those up in a day or so.
It truly has been a winter wonderland around here, and we've loved it. It has made for a beautiful and scenic Christmas break.

I'm so jealous that you're getting to enjoy the northwest snow! Our first year of not being in Vancouver and it brings snow? Not fair. :)
SO FUN...and your hot pink gloves are my favorite :)
