Post Holiday Stuff

When the snow began to fall here almost 2 weeks ago, I thought it was so awesome! SNOW!! Snow days RULE!! Ok, so one or two snow days rule, not 7! It ruined my plans for my birthday. Chris and I had bought tickets on the Snow Train to Leavenworth that was due to head out on December 20th. It was cancelled due to blizzard conditions in the mountains. So after 6 days stuck at home with Chris, Rollie, PugZee, DaiZee, Charlie and LuLu.. I needed to get out!!!!!!!! I braved the freezing cold and the foot of snow and headed off to work. It took me 4 hours to get there and 3 hours to get home. It was all worth it though! If I had stayed home one more day, someone was going to lose and eye! The next day it snowed again! So I worked from home, it wasn't worth getting out there again. The snow had gotten the best of me!

Christmas 2008.. My mom and dad rode the Amtrak train from Eugene, OR. on Christmas Eve, even though they were 3 hours late arriving in Tacoma, I was still very happy they were here. Levi drove down from Covington on Christmas morning, he got here just in time for breakfast. Crockpot hash brown casserole. Chris got up at 0400 to put the stuff in the crockpot and by 1000, it was ready! It was sooooooo yummy! We opened presents and visited for most of the afternoon and I then made Lasagna for dinner. Levi stayed until a little after 8pm and it was a good day!

Mom and dad left yesterday on the 6:15pm train home. I just talked to mom and the train was about 45 mins. late getting into Eugene, but it was a good ride. Today we have to take Rollie to the Greyhound bus station for his ride back to Yakima then Chris and I are going to the Pub at the Pike Place Market for a beer. It's going to be a good day..

I hope all who read this had a wonderful, family filled holiday! That's what it is all about!

4 more days until 2009!!
