Have I mentioned how much I love the snow? (I should explain.... I love it when it isn't in my own front yard for 5 months--- in other words, I love to visit it.)
Here are some favorite pictures from our snowy weekend trip to Spokane....
I love this section of Snoqualmie Pass.... it is so pretty with a fresh dusting of snow.
Here's our happy girl in the snow.... she even managed her first snow angel!
Ian's gloves were on loan to Reagan so his time outside was fairly short lived. He did, however, manage a face first dive into the snow and also completed his first snow angel. It was an eventful few minutes for the little man.

Brotherly Love
We're in Spokane right now celebrating Christmas with Sean's family. Today we were blessed with a beautiful snowfall. A beautiful, peaceful snowfall that quickly turned into a brotherly snowball fight.

Stuck!
Ian's new favorite word right now is "stuck". He says it for almost every situation possible. In the case of the photo above...... he REALLY meant it!
What you can't see is that he was walking in this position, pushing the bar stool in front of him. He almost made a full circle around the island before I decided to intervene. Thankfully, he was willing to stop for a brief moment in order to pose for me.
Silly, silly boy.
I love him so much...

When Mom's away....
.... the kids make a HUGE mess.
Okay, so I wasn't "away". Just in the kitchen-- which is only steps away from the play room.
The kids were playing so nicely in there... I heard the beautiful sounds of laughter and kindness.
So, I decided to peek in on them.
This is what I found. Niiiice.

Thoughts
Here we go.... Thursday's random thoughts, bullet style.
- What's with random vomiting? Ian decided to throw up in the middle of the night for no apparent reason. Clearly there was a reason, but not one that I am privy to right now. He is totally fine now. Praise God for that!
- How about random money? Did you know that if you travelled overseas in the past 10 years, and used a credit card, that Visa/MasterCard charged you an "illegal" fee? I got a "class action court settlement" form yesterday (didn't know I took anyone to court!) and will be getting a refund of $25. Who knew?!
- How about completely random power outages? At about 1:00 today, our power went out! I know it's not weather related because it is sunny today. I'm thankful for my laptop that was not plugged in when it happened. :) Obviously if you're reading this, the power has been restored. Wonder if I'll ever know why?
- I do NOT recommend taking 4 children 3 years and under, all dressed up in their Christmas outfits, to a photo studio. Okay wait.... to a photo studio who decides to train a oh-so-very young man during our session. Seriously there were 3 employees in the studio and not one of them took charge. We all wanted to push them (gently) out of the way and take the pictures ourselves. Can you really expect 4 kids that young to sit still, hold a pose, look right in to the camera, and give their best smile? AT THE SAME TIME? I don't think so. The best part was when the new kid quietly said "okay kids, say fuzzy pickles!". No one even heard him (I happened to because I was standing behind him making a complete fool of myself trying to get them to look up). Okaaaaaay.... enough of that bullet.
- I love my daughter's developing imagination.... this morning, I walked into her room and she sat up and said "Once upon a time, there was a dinosaur at Grandma's house, Mom!" These days, most of her stories start with "Once upon a time...."
- We went to Z00 Lights the other night.... in the rain. It was actually really fun! And there were hardly any people there! It is, however, hard to explain to a 3 year old that we are going to the zoo, but we won't be seeing any animals. Reagan had a hard time with that.
- Is there any hope we'll have a white Christmas in Western Washington???? A girl can dream, right?
