We made the most of it and played in the snow a little everyday. And yes, its true. . . they sled on the streets in Seattle. Why not? Certainly noone can drive on them! Lucy in her princess fairy skirt, with her magic wand. . . riding a rocking motorcycle in converse. It says everything. These are my nephews, Tanner and Ethan, anxiously looking for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. Sleighbells were definitely heard ringing as he visited our neighbors and the boys were sure they'd spot him any minute. My sister, Jenn, and her little Tori. Below are pics of making sugar cookies with my mom. . . a favorite Christmas activity. Lucy was more interested in eating them than frosting them.
