Mickayla was in the play Annie. She played an orphan and also Lily St. Rigis. Most all of the pictures I have are videos. I don't know how to down load them yet.

 

"Oh the weather outside if fightful... Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow." This picture was taken when we had 6 inches of snow. We got three more last night and it is snowing again right now. REALLY SNOWING. WOW we have a lot of snow for Seattle.

 

THis is totally out of order for my postings but... at the end of the day when we were headed back from sledding Blake pulled the kids down the hill. They loved it. THey are sure glad that Blake is home! As Mickayla said, "Blake has great ideas for having fun in the snow."

 

Mickayla flying over a jump that some kids had built.

 

We all headed up to the Elementary school after picking Blake up from the airport for some fun sledding.

 

Will had a great time sledding.

 

Erin tried to make a snow angel but Decko thought he better help her out. He is on her chest.

 

Poor Fritz had the snow stick to him like snowballs. I had to give him a warm bath to wash all the snow off. He was about froze before I got it all off him.

 

We made the Christmas train and gram cracker village again this year. We had a fun time. Erin made a clock tower and some cone snow covered trees. I made a hotel...

 Dad made a stsble. He had planned to make a nativity in it but changed and put reindeer in it. It was easier.

 Blake made a train station

 

The younger ones got a little frustrated with the gram cracker houses but with a little help they made fun crations.

 

The final product. It turned out pretty good.

 

The Christmas season has started. Dad and his helpers were able to get the Christmas lights up with little trouble. We have been enjoying a wonderful Christmas season.

 

Erin, Will and Mickayla made Cinnamon ornaments. They really smell good. Sorry Erin for the picture. It is the only one with everyone in it.

 

Fritz even is getting into the festive mood!

 

Erin, Will, Mickayla and I went to the Bell Square Snowflake celebration. Each night they have drummers and marching soldiers and other characters to dance and sing with the crowd. The children love it. I love it also. Erin is very good about getting us out and enjoying the season.

 There was Rudolf the red nosed reindeer. Will was very excited to meet him.

 There was a Snow Queen. Mickayla was really excited to meet her!

 
Erin, Will and I loved the lights at the gardens in Bellevue. Mickayla and Will loved all the lights.
