Despite the beautiful, but interruptive snow we received, and the rain to follow, we finally got bundled up and made it out to Zoolights this year! Matthew loved looking at all the lights and Hannah did surprisingly well despite her snowsuit impersonation of Randy from Christmas Story!

You Can't Phase Hannah!

Here is the view of our White Christmas morning from our front porch!


So after several mornings of Matthew saying that I keep the house too cold, we thought he could use a robe, and he is greatly enjoying having his "portable blanket!" Here he is all cozy on Christmas morning.



For her first Christmas we had to set Hannah up right. The major argument between brother and sister has been over Matthew's puppy. Hannah is always trying to snuggle up and kidnap Puppy so we thought this giant pink puppy would be just her style!



Just another moment from Christmas morning, diving into stockings!




And here is Santa's sweetest little helper!





And our yearly pic of the family in their brand new Christmas Eve Pajamas that Santa brought early while we were attending Christmas Eve Services!

Here is Hannah showing off her walking skills with her new Radio Flyer!

Here is a little clip of my snow angels! It makes it a little more difficult when freezing rain comes down on top of all the beautiful snow!

While we get a lot of rain up here in Seattle, snow isn't as constant, until this week! With Seattle receiving an average of only 3 inches of snow a year, our 9 inches (as of last night) is a rare sight, but beautiful! Here are some shots of the family playing in the snow!

Josh and Matthew had a great time decorating (and eating) their first gingerbread house together!
