Seattle doesn't know what snow is

Seattle got it's first taste of snow last weekend (a whole inch!) It was the talk of the town. This was the view from our deck on Sunday.

This is a strange place when it comes to snow. Another inch or two was forecasted for today so last night, every school annnounced it would be closed (and lo and behold, not a flake flew today)!

Greyson loved it though. He's into eating the snow and not wearing mittens. We had to bribe him ("hello, Santa?") He spent a good hour outside until the little snow we did have turned into slush. I wish the snow had come today just to see Grey play in it again. I'm a December snow girl and I can't wait to get home to see what I hear is quite a bit of it. (Wisconsin here we come!)

Mike & I recently celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary (gasp!). We took a road trip into the mountains with Greyson to visit a Bavarian village that celebrates Christmas with a beautiful lighting ceremony, Santa, Father Christmas, Frosty the Snowman and other familiar friends. Grey wasn't feeling great so we cut the weekend short but we did get to enjoy some of what the town had to offer. As beautiful as it was, we just can't wait to get home for the holidays.
