Merry Christmas!

We're a little ahead of schedule on the holiday calendar... so MERRY CHRISTMAS! to all of you.

Due to the planned trip to Arizona and the luggage restrictions, we opted to open our presents on Dec 19th, just before we were scheduled to depart for AZ.

Well... that was about 5 days ago.

On Christmas Eve day we'll be heading back to Seatac for our third attempt to reach Phoenix. Attempts #1 & #2 are summarized here, if you missed it.

You won't believe this, but the weather forecast is predicting another 4 or 5 inches of snow between now and when our plane is scheduled to depart on Wednesday afternoon.

The kids are highly pessimistic and if they could change their Christmas list it would now say they just want to go to Arizona.

Deep breath...
Please pray for us.

In other news, I convinced Tanya to try out snowshoeing in the backyard today.

After her brief, injury-free, excursion she indicated that snowshoes will not be added to her Christmas list for this year. Or any year.

Merry Christmas Eve, everyone!
