SNOW!!! and a lot of it.....in Seattle???

Yes, you heard correctly, for a place that is only supposed to get a skif of snow a couple times a year, we got a heck of a lot! And I guess they've been getting more since we left for vacation. We had about 8 inches when we left and then another storm blew in (an ice storm) and brought another at least half a foot and they actually called church off, so now we don't feel guilty about skipping church the week before when we couldn't make it.

We took a chance to enjoy it and went out to play. The first night of the snow, we took the kids out to look at Christmas lights in our neighborhood. The kids loved the lights and loved trying to catch snowflakes on their tongues. Too cute!!










The next day, it was snow packed and really icy on the roads so we couldn't make it to church, so we decided to have a snowball fight. Yes, we did try to go to church though...but you see Seattle shuts down when it snows and there are so many hills that it's not worth wrecking your car to get anywhere.....it's just crazy here. It's funny, if the weather report has snow....schools shut down....easy snow day....we never got snow days in Montana, not even when it was -40 degrees. We maybe got out early if it was snowing and drifting snow. Anyway, enough of that, enjoy the cuteness!















The next day it snowed even more and we played out in the backyard, it was a lot of fun!
