Lily's First Christmas Season

Lily Mei is experiencing her first Christmas season. It's a joy for us to watch her discover all the new sights and sounds. We've enjoyed cruising the mall and the neighborhoods and showing her the lights and other holiday decorations. Her favorite sight were the reindeer flying high from the ceiling at Bellevue Square.

Nana (Pam's mom Barbara) is visiting us for the holidays. Being from Tampa she has been cold since she stepped off the plane! The snow storms are the biggest in Seattle for many years, and it's guaranteed we'll have a white Christmas.

People living in the Puget Sound area are not accustomed to such weather so, although it's a beautiful winter wonderland, getting around has become a frustrating chore.

Lily and Nana decorated Christmas cookies yesterday. Lily thought that was really cool. Frosting and sugar sprinkles were everywhere...but the final result was very tasty!

Ho, Ho, Ho

Lily meets Santa for the first time.
