12月25日 White ChristmasFor the second time in my life we are having a white Christmas. I lived in Denver for many years, but was always in the NW for Christmas, so rarely was there snow on the ground.
The last time we were living in Seattle - I was in grade school. Our neighbor had to go to the hospital in an emergency - I remember the ambulance lights on the snow. Happily she was fine, but her kids were really scared that day. My mom sat with them until their dad got home.
I do remember the year it snowed the day after Christmas - feets worth of snow in Seattle. The city was paralyzed. I was able to get a flight out 4 days later.
This year we don't have far to travel, we got chains for the trip to Dad's.
Here is a video of Christmas morning:
Carl recieved a bunch of toys - but his favorite thing is the packing popcorn from one of his presents. 12月22日 Helping the neighborsCarl recently made a bird feeder at school. They took very large pinecones, put butter on them and rolled them in birdseed. They tied a ribbon to the top to hang them from the trees. This was part of a lesson on how animals hunt for food all winter long.
The feeders were sent home with the assignment to draw a picture of the birds they see.
It took refiling the feeder three times, but we finally got a picture. I was also able to get some photos. They appear to be Dippers or Chickadees.
We are having a very snowy time here. Right now many highways are closed and there are restrictions - chains are required on the highways that are open (not just snow tires or 4 wheel drive.) We probably 8" of snow with 3 layers of ice - one on the ground, one about halfway up and an inch thick and another thin layer about an inch down. The snow won't pack so no pics of snowmen - Carl is bummed. 12月21日 I found this email:
The Hormone Hostage knows that there are days in the month when all a man has to do is open his mouth and he takes his life in his own hands! This is a handy guide that should be as common as a driver's license in the wallet of every husband, boyfriend, or significant one in your life!
So good Christmas cookies and wine would do the trick.... |
