So wow. What a weekend. We got hit hard with the snow. At first, we thought it was going to hit Friday night, but it didn’t. That would’ve sucked since I had to take my kid and her half sis on the Santa Train. So we made it on the Santa Train sans snow! The girls had a blast! And Lacy Danes and her kids came too. So of course, Lacy and I couldn’t resist getting a pic with Santa 
They seemed so excited by this the local paper took a pic too and promised to put us in it.
When we returned from the train the wind started up and, sadly, knocked down a tree in our back yard, breaking the swingset in half. My daughter pointed it out. But we were lucky it didn’t hit the house. That’s okay, there’s other trees much closer to us that still could (gahd I’m morbid!)
The snow came on Saturday night after the winds. Oh and how the girls loved that! I took them sledding and let them play outside for a bit. It was absolutely frigid. The temperature has just dropped and so the snow isn’t melting. I braved a drive out Sunday evening once I was kid free and enjoyed a pre-holiday party with some of my old friends. We played Cranium and usually I’m not a big board game player, but I had a good time. My team won. See our victory dance!
Well, the snow is still around and it’s supposed to hit us again. More snow! Which I’m kind of hmmmm’ing about. I mean, I have Cherry Adair’s Christmas party on Saturday! I do NOT want to miss this. The last time I went? Chocolate fondue fountain and like food to die for. And I just *heart* Cherry. Usually I’d LOVE a White Christmas, or any reason for snow, but we Seattle folk don’t know how to drive in the stuff. We freak out and like freeze. Go no where unless we have to. *Sigh* I’ll keep you posted!
