i'm dreaming of a white christmas. . .

well, the weather outside is frightful. . .

we are thinking about having our first annual christmas barbecue. . .
but our table is under nearly a foot of snow.

not kidding.


so the barbecue is off, but that won't spoil our christmas altogether.

moira and i went out together in the snow and got our tree. . .



where we got it is a well-kept secret. . .

we braved the snow, and moira even learned a thing or two about snow and how it changes the way one drives. remember the movie cars? she learned the value of the advice turn right to go left.

the tree is up and decorated--likely the first time in her 14 years that we've gotten a tree home,
in the house, and decorated all in the same day.

four days to go.

may your days be merry and bright,
and may all your christmases be white.

Wow. I heard about the snow from my family but your pictures are crazy. Portland got more snow than Chambéry, France (where I live now) which is in a valley at the foot of the Alps.

It looks beautiful and we will take some pictures of our North Pole location.

I love it and just hope we do not get that freezing rain, at least until Susy is home.
