The snow began falling last Wednesday evening. It just keeps on coming. No question we’ll be having a White Christmas. This type of snow is an extreme rarity (the news reports once every 15 years) so the kids are milking it for all it’s worth. And of course, no Bainbridge Island storm would be complete without a power outage. 9 hours yesterday. The house received a good cleaning for which it was extremely thankful!
The next storm has arrived a bit ahead of schedule, I can see falling snow as I write this post. Snow forts, hot chocolate, knitting, and slow simmering soup are on my schedule for today. Wishing you many joyful and festive moments with your loved ones this week. xo Kathy
Wow the Snow is amazing! (I live in California) I wish it snowed at least once here. Happy Holidays
Kathy, change the kids faces and we have the same photos! LOL
I dont know how to knit though but have been keeping a hot fire with cinnamon water on top, lots of soups, sweaters and a mitten line hanging behind the woodstove for the everchanging supply of wet ones.
Have a Great Christmas!
Lori
Enjoy your white Christmas!!! Thanks again for the pattern. Have a wonderful Christmas!
Merry Christmas Kathy!
Hope you didn’t have to wait in line too long at the store
I guess we were lucky, we missed the power outage yesterday! I’m so happy it snowed, we’re going to be here for Christmas day, it makes me feel like I’m home in Ontario 
Beautiful pictures…You are a gal after my own heart…I’d need a power outage to get my house spic and span too!
Happy Holidays
Awesome snow fort in that second picture! That’s a ton of snow!
aww lucky you! i can’t remember the last time i had a white christmas here in va! all we’re getting tomorrow is rain!
It must be so cool for everyone to enjoy such a good and beautiful snowfall when it’s such a rare occurrence. The problem is when it interferes with where you need to go and what you need to do. And welcome to MY life lately here in Wisconsin. Still trying to remember to enjoy it all for its beauty…
Of course the first year I live out here is the year we get record snow
Oh well! At least we will probably be having a white Christmas 
LOVE the snow pics! I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!!!
Great memories to be made! Merry Christmas to you and yours
Crazy! No snow here in southern Florida… in fact, my air conditioner just turned on as I type this!
Isn’t it just amazing. I think you got more up there than we did. It looks like we’re in for another 3-5″ here in the Vancouver/Portland area. Yea! They are calling it the 40 Year Storm down here.
no snow here, so i am a bit envious about it…
we’re so busy, i didn’t even write chrismas cards or e-mails this year… so i say it here: hope you’ll have a wonderful christmas and some peaceful, quiet days with your family! ?
Merry Christmas! One Christmas dream is already there!
Hi Kathy, I loved the pictures of your daughter playing in the snow and wishing you and your family a Happy Holiday. Say hi to your mom and dad. Love Val
Your cousin
Strange, this weather, isn’t it? But I do love it although it cut the Christmas shopping a little short (which isn’t a bad thing).
A Happy Holiday to you and your family!
Merry Christmas! I hope you have lots of snowed in days where you & your gals have nothing to do but play – outside int he snow and inside in the sewing room!
I learned a lonnng time ago to have food storage… (some people call it a blizzard cupboard!) and extra blankets for these power outage times. Hope that your nice and warm and had a wonderful Christmas time. I remember Christmas on Bainbridge with my grandparents… it was great fun! Quiet and peaceful and a reflective time.
I managed to do all my Christmas sewing from my sewing stash this year! It is slowly being widdled down… that’s alright maybe by Spring/Summer I will have room to buy more again!
