Christmas

We feel fortunate to have made it into Seattle despite the record snowfall. Usually, Seattle will get only a couple inches of snow one night per year, which will quickly melt away in the following day. This year we arrived into Seattle with already 1 foot of snow and another foot has fallen on us since.

Here's our plane at SeaTac Airport....A light dusting of snow on the Mini Cooper I borrowed from my brother...The street of Brooke's parents house...The next day we picked up Brooke's brother from the airport, then headed downtown for some last minute shopping. This photos was taken at Pacific Place mall....While downtown we got a tour of Brooke's mom's new corner office. Her office offers some spectacular views of the Seattle skyline, plus a small sliver of a waterfront view....Every year Brooke's family puts up two Christmas trees. A plastic one is setup by the front window and the real tree is in the family room. I like the fake, lighter & more pastel colored one...With road conditions worstening, we spent the next few days stuck around the house. Here's me playing fetch with the neighbor's dog, Bella....By Christmas day, we were definitely overrun with snow and there was nothing to do but accept it and have fun with it....Brooke's brother and I clearing the driveway for the 3rd time in 4 days.....Gramma & Brooke with our Christmas Day snowman....
