We are preparing for the winter storm that is supposed to hit tonight and is calling for another 6-12" of snow possible. I measured the snow on our back patio last night and we had 5.5". Not as much as I thought, but still a good amount.
My mom and I tried to go out and finish up some last minute shopping today. That was a mistake. We ended up being stuck in a huge mess of traffic and ice. I believe everyone in town decided to go out at the same moment. For everyone that knows me, knows that I have little patience and I was definitely ready to get home. Visions of ramming my car into others didn't help!
Christmas Eve is fast approaching and this year we are hosting Matt's family get together. We are happy to have them coming. We hope the weather clears up so they can make the trip from up North (Burien/Everett).
Christmas day will be my family at our house for Christmas brunch. Yum, I can hardly wait.
Matt's dad and Cindi surprised us with an offer to give us a week anywhere for our Christmas gift. Matt and I have been searching through all the tropical islands we can think of. We are planning on a March or April trip and we figure we could use some sun, white beaches and snorkeling by that time. Our top choices are Turks and Caicos (very hard to get), Grand Cayman and St. John. We shall see what we decide. Such a hard decision when we have so many options.
Happy Holidays!
Matt and Jennie

I LOVE SNOW!
Except when you have to drive in it. :-)
Happy holidays - when are we getting together again?
I'm cracking up at mom with the garbage can!!!
Dude, how do you know the Gehrings? I went to school with Gunnar, Stefan's brother (I think - Stefan was older? Fuzzy memory), and their blog has links to half a dozen families that I knew from Curtis. Small world...
