Well, after an AMAZING summer and a much longer than usual Fall, winter has arrived in Alaska! We have had our first snow, the temperatures are colder and the days are shorter. However, with winter comes the holiday season! The house is currently decorated for Thanksgiving and we have lights up outside already. We will start decorating for Christmas soon, and I can't wait! This year we are continuing our "Black Friday" tradition of staying up all night with friends and getting in line for shopping at 3am! Many of the black friday ad's have already been released on-line and we are already planning our attack! Here are some of the things that we have been up to:
- Filled our "Operation Christmas Child" shoe boxes last night for Samaritans Purse. This is something that we do every year and always enjoy!
- Last Friday (the 13th) I celebrated my 3rd year anniversary with Extended Stay Hotels!
- We bought tickets to go to U2 in Seattle next June!!
- Have decided that a Blu-Ray player is on our "black friday" list this year.
- Sherri has been busy painting Thanksgiving / Christmas crafts, and then look awesome!

Adam, you are such a winter child! You make it sound all so crispy and white. You neglected to say the temp is 0 or below, and has been for a couple of days, and will be for a few more. Add just a slight breeze, and it's COLD! And that we're looking forward to this weekend when it should be 10 or above. I guess we just use these times to catch up on blog postings, paint holiday crafts, fill Christmas shoe boxes, and all other inside stuff. I've been out of milk for 2 days, and decided I can go another 2 without having to warm the car and go out in this cold for just milk. I have a box of almond milk I've wanted to try. It's 28 steps from my back door to my studio, and I have to dress in hat, scarf, coat, boots, and gloves for those 28 steps. OK, I'll quit, and make an ice candel holder or make some good use of this COLD! You are good at reminding us of the good. Where'd that come from? :)
Love, Mom
