Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

Walking in a Winter Wonderland...






Wow, did we get snow! In Renton we got about two and half feet over Christmas and it just seemed to keep on falling. Gracie loved it and I think her favorite thing was throwing snowballs at Nana and mommy. We were pretty much snowed in for two weeks and Gracie enjoyed all the time we shared with Nana while she was home. Happy holidays!
