Baby, its cold outside...

Here are some pictures from our snowy days. We are loving this weather...


Pop's field after doing a quick sledding behind the "beast"


Frozen booties after sledding. This was a quick little jaunt before heading into Tacoma. We didn't have our snowsuits on, but we didn't care...it was fun and worth the cold booties!


Can't wait to be back for more!

Going about zero miles an hour in Tacoma on I-5. Both Heath and I had Dr's appointments with Dr. Andy in Tacoma. We should have left for home right afterwards but were starving. This is what we got to deal with for 3+ hours on the way to Yelm. I-5 was a skating rink because the slow moving cars melted the ice...and then it froze again because it was about 27 degrees. It wasn't so bad until we got to a spot where the road was banked....then cars just slid down all the lanes. We got through it ok, but we were sure that it was going to cause all sorts of problems. Once we got off the freeway, it was smooth sailing (at 30 mph) until we hit the casino. Traffic through Yelm was backed all the way up to there and was not moving a bit. So, we made an executive decision, turned around and went another way to Pop's house. Thankfully we weren't in any kind of hurry so we weren't too stressed about things.



Starry ladies: I kind of like how this photo turned out

Corbin and I went out for a midnight snow walk...one of my favorite things to do! It is so peaceful, quiet and light out.



The moon making its bold appearance over the lake. I did some funky stuff with these pictures.

Kellie, LeeAnne and Judy showing off their "tribal" necklaces that Heath and I put together. These lovely ladies are great friends and get together weekly to drink wine, eat food and chat. Its their wine-y therapy group!

Jessica, you take the best pictures. They are all so good. I need to get better about taking the camera with me everywhere I go. Merry Christmas!

A lot of good pics! Sorry about your trouble on I5, that's SO annoying. The pics of your kiddo are really cute. He's getting so big.
