We had the most perfect Christmas Eve. We woke up to a heavy
frost and the promise of snow, so we canceled our plans and stayed home all day
listening to Christmas music, wrapping the remaining presents, baking cookies
(I iced, K added sprinkles), and watched Elf and Polar Express. Well, also a
lot of cleaning and cooking - don’t think I sat down from the time I got up
until about 3pm because the house was that trashed and I really wanted it nice
for Christmas. My feet felt like they did when I worked retail in college but
it was so worth it to have the house all nice.
Just as it started to get dark out, I was looking out the
window checking for snow and there was nothing, but I looked a little bit longer
and there was one flake, and another - snow! We were all off-the-charts excited
and K ran to get her snow boots and was ready to go outside right away so of
course we bundled up and went out in the dark to play in the yard. A white Christmas
is lovely anywhere but it doesn’t happen a whole lot in the Pacific Northwest and
the rarity makes it just that much more magical. All ready for Santa to come!
