Matt and I arrived on Sunday, with only minor revisions to our flight plan. Although we missed the storm that crippled the eastern seaboard by about 5 more inches of snow, our Saturday night flight was delayed - so we spent the night in MSP instead of SEA. And then we jumped straight in to the holiday excitement- stocked up on holiday foods and got paint clothes to help in the bathroom. Since the parents have jobs to get to, we got up Monday to see the Sunrise- and then sat in place until it set again. Perfect way to spend the shortest day of the year! We watched some amazing wildlife from the picture windows- whales, sea lions and so many birds!
I've started to make an impact on the Christmas cookies requirements of the household. Noel better show up quick, because both the peanut blossoms and ginger cookies are in danger of not making it until Wednesday- I'm sure we'll have something else good by the time he shows up.
Last night we went out to NOT celebrate Mom and Dad's anniversary, just Mom's last day of work before the break. The rest of the week, we've got big ambitions in the kitchen as well as the Master Bathroom (Painting!). And today, Kelsey is babysitting a toddler with the best babycheeks to grace the house in years. What we need now is to pull out the Christmas music, toss up a tree, and really get this holiday started.
