Snow! Snow! Snow!

More snow today. The girls had a lot of fun making "snow sisters" today. Very Cute!

Bryan almost got stuck in the snow coming home from Seattle...he couldn't quite get the car into the garage (he parked it at the bottom of the hill).

Just got the update that school is closed Thursday as well. Wow!

No school this week

3 days and counting! We're sticking close to home this week. And the forecast is for snow and freezing rain tomorrow. Yikes! We'll be wrapping Christmas gifts, delivering cakes to neighbors, and playing in the snow (of course!). I'm hoping we don't catch cabin fever before the week's out.

My good friend, Smartie Pants is heading to a warmer climate: Hawaii!!! Lucky duck. She's taking a well deserved vacation. If you're reading this from Oahu, have a cocktail for me, will ya? :-)

Christmastime downtown in a snowstorm

I took my girls downtown today in the snowstorm via the train. Our oldest went to a fancy "tea party" with a friend; our youngest and I went shopping at an especially cool toy store (lots of old fashioned style toys like jack-in-the-box, wooden toys, and toy tops. It was very, very cold and blustery outside but so much fun! There's nothing like a wintery outing with your kiddos to bring your Christmas-time spirit back.

Christmas Question

Yesterday I was in the car with my 7 year old. We drove by a beautifully decorated Christmas tree at a shopping center near our home. She pointed out how pretty it was and then thoughtfully asked, "But will the people who are jewish be upset that there isn't anything decorated for them?"

Wow. She is very sensitive, empathetic, and so aware.

How would you respond?
