A foot of Snow

In the winter it usually rains a lot in Seattle. Well the last week it has been extremely cold here, so instead of rain we have had lots of snow. We have close to a foot on the ground. They don't use salt here just sand and they don't have a lot of plow trucks. With all the big hills it is almost impossible to get around. On Sunday we were just stuck inside so we decided to play in the snow. We went sledding at a park a few blocks away with our friends the Morgans.

Our Christmas Tree

We have a family tradition of cutting down our Christmas tree. This is the second year we went to a Christmas tree farm. It is so fun walking through the trees looking for the perfect one. We will find one and then think we should keep looking, but then can't find the one we found first. IT was a blast with Rachel. It was like 60 degrees (this was several weeks ago) and drizzling.

Santa visit

Rachel is in love with Santa. She has already seen him twice and anytime we go to the mall she says " Watch Santa". This is because I told her she can't sit with him again, because she already had a turn. She talks about him all the time and gets all the Santa ornaments off the tree.
