Wow! What a month! We went from a beautiful fall where we were cycling every weekend to sudden blizzard-like weather in Seattle. About a week before Christmas, we got over a foot of snow at our home and the temperature got down to 15 - 20 degrees some days. Very unusual for our area! But it was actually a nice change. We had a wonderful moonlit walk one evening - the absence of cars and the quiet around our neighborhood made for a magical stroll.
We spent Christmas with Marisa's mom at our home. We almost didn't think she would make it due to the weather, as she was taking the train from Eugene, but Amtrack was up and running again after weather-related issues. We spent a lovely, quiet Christmas here at home, but also took in Bellevue Botenaical Garden's light display and Pike Place Market while mom was here over the weekend.
We wish all our friends and family a wonderful holiday season and best wishes for the New Year!
