More snow than we know what to do with...

Max knows what he wants to do...read the classics!

Amy on a Yankee Clipper, the Greatest Sled Ever Made.

Tycho really likes the snow.

Looking at this picture, I expect to see some powder hound come ripping through these trees.

Icicles are inherently cool.

Family Photos from the Christmas in Kirkland

Here are some assorted pix from the Honeywell Family Christmas in Kirkland...

Sledding on the steepest hill in the neighborhood...

The three fiercest wrestlers in all of Mexico...

It was a very small, intimate, gathering...

I just really like this picture...

Christmas 2008

Well Christmas has come and gone for another year and I am, as always, amazed at how quickly it passes by. This year it was time to make the trek to Kirkland with all the kids and spend the holiday at my Mom's. We got over the pass just under the wire, 90 minutes after we crossed the state closed I-90 for most of the next day. Good thing we left early.

On Sunday, we met our friends Heidi and Owen at Bel-Square for running around adn pix with Santa. We also had to get Mom out of the house for the first time in a week. It seems that Seattle and the surrounding communities have forgotten how to clear snow from the roads, parking lots, and any other surface that humans may use for transportation. I guess in the eyes of those in control of such things; if we were meant to get around in such horrible conditions man woudl have invented something to take care of the problem....like a snow plow maybe?
