Snow Fun, Cookie Fun and Cold

While we wrapped up our Holiday parties on Saturday night, we were greeted by the first snow of the season. Saturday night we got about 2in of the fluffy stuff, and the cold temps kept it around all morning. Maddie was up at the crack of dawn ready to get out and play..so after some hot chocolate and breakfast Maddie and KK bundeled up and headed out. Here is a short video of the fun...with Josie in the mix as well.



Later on Sunday, Steph held her annual Cookie Exchange. This is the second time where the event was impacted by weather. Luckily a good group of people braved the roads and made it to the event. Steph really enjoys this time and I think everyone that came enjoyed it as well. Here are some pics of the cookies as well as Maddie and KK in the Snow.



Finally, we are bracing for more cold and more snow. Today the high was 25, overnight lows are in the teens. Since the roads are frozen, school started 2 hours late today (and tomorrow), so Christmas Vacation came early for KK, while Maddie is coasting into the Holiday break. Forecast is for more snow on Wednesday/Thursday and Saturday...but, this is Seattle, so you never really know.

What Fun!Watching the girls(Josie too!)playing made look at the snow through their eyes-instead of being
upset over the inconvenience.I can't control the weather-so might as well enjoy the beauty & fun it brings.A big THANK YOU to Steph for hosting another wonderful Cookie Exchange.It's a much anticipated (& needed)respite from the hustle,bustle & "craziness" of the season.There is always great food,friends-old & new & of course MAGNIFICENT cookies!!!Ladies you outdid yourselves this year!
