This is brewed in Greeley!

And it's very hoppy so I liked it :)

Compare which lights are on with the next picture.

Xmas lights in Greeley

We are looking at Christmas lights! This house has a soundtrack played
on 93.9 FM. All the lights are timed with the songs. Completely
insane. :)

Mom's Twi-mas

Mom really liked her Edward poster from Alex. I made her a nice twilight calendar to put up, as well.

scary sounds and sights

This is how Annie Cat looked when she saw Mom wearing reindeer antlers. She looked even more freaked out by Dad's harmonica. She booked it out of the living room at top speed.

CHRISTMAS!!

Awesome funness.

Gary LOVED all the extra wrapping paper and boxes.

How I felt when mom called to wake me up

Clue- I'm the one in the back.

Tuesday December 23rd

Global warming

I bought a gift online that is environmentally themed, and it is that
tiny box in the middle of this ridiculously wasteful box that Target
shipped it in. Kind of ironic that they decided a 12x18x24 box was
appropriate for a 6 inch square box.

heavy trees

I finally figured out what the big pile of snow on the patio was. I hadn't looked too closely and I just thought it was some snow drifted. It's actually one of the hedge bushes that fell over. It's pretty big!

There is also a car my size that is stuck getting out the parking spot. That confirms that I am not going anywhere (until Dad arrives after work to take me out with Mom!).

Dinner

We had our restaurant night at Gorgeous George's! It was quite snowy
and kept snowing the entire time. We hope Sarah makes it back to queen
Anne safely.

We have retrieved Anne.

It was a journey and it's not over yet. Marko's car is a tank. We had
one scary moment, down bell and onto 99 into the tunnel. But Marko did
a good job.
Anne ran all the way from qwest field to pike place where we picked
her up.

Snowball attack!

He's a good snow driver, and he throws a mean snowball ;)

People at northgate have snow shoes on!

Marko is an excellent snow driver

Mountlake terrace is snowy!

See the car buried in snow up ahead?

Edmonds is snowy!

snowed in but not for much longer

Apparently we got five inches in Mukilteo. I believe it-- the piles weighing down the bushes out the dining room window have definitely grown. I'm excited to get out and about. Marko called around to find the only brunch place open: Scott's. YUM.

I think we'll cancel restaurant night-- Anne and Alex are sledding down hills near their house, probably not a good idea to have them drive on the same hills.

It is officially colder in Greeley than here-- 12 degrees versus 28.

No more tracks left in the snow

snow drifts

We have snow drifts! Sort of. It would be interesting to open any of the garage doors right now. My lights flickered-- I immediately plugged my iphone in. It's charged almost fully, but if I end up playing sim city for hours of entertainment in the dark, I need to make sure there's a full charge.
It's a tad windier now, from my armchair viewpoint. I went out and tried to make a snowman earlier. Snow is too light and doesn't stick. I used to hate that kind of snow when I was little.
Well, I'll get back to my DVR until I'm tired enough to sleep.

Mukilteo snow plows

Are doing their best! It is still snowing, though.

snow day

All my schools were cancelled today, but Jeff and I made a trip down to Seatac. He is probably on his plane now, off to Greeley and 18 degree weather. In Mukilteo, it's 27 and snowy. Check out the course of my drive home:
The top row includes three pictures from Mukilteo: first, Harbour Pointe Blvd. Pretty white! Then our front walk and a snowman a neighbor made and dressed.
The second row has a picture of an articulated bus near West Seattle Bridge. That HOV lane isn't always the way to go. Then, me on Chennault Beach near Electroimpact. Finally, you can see Chennault Beach Road near the tennis courts. It's slippery on that curve.
Now, I'm having hot chocolate and watching tv. Lovely snow day activities.
