flight to the north


The day we left in the morning we were at a Christmas party where our children were running around in short sleeves and socks on. The party was outside, umbrella's were out for shade, and the chocolate cookies were melting from the rays. It was around 73 degrees.

By evening we were on a plane flying across the country to land that is frozen over, frosty and white. It is actually quite beautiful.
Beautiful to look at. And stay inside with our warm family. It really isn't too bad outside with temps in the low 20's. It is cold, crisp and Jake & I keep saying how good it smells outside.

Jake's sister Auntie Tanya is here and we stayed up late talking and catching up a bit.

Abigail has warmed up to her Grandparents already and loves to explore the new house, new toys and Christmas decorations.
Grandma Jude was prepared to having 2 kids around that are 17 months and one year old so she decorated her tree to make Christmas kid friendly!

We can also tell that there is a soon to be dentist and a hygienist around because under the tree sits a big box of toothpaste that Abigail found!

Ha ha...in the 20's and you guys are smelling the air. In the 20's and I'm not concerned about how the air smells...just how to get out of that cold air as quickly as possible! :-) I love how the tree is decorated...too funny. :-)

So glad to see you're there safe! I was thinking about you guys all last night. So nice to see you at the party before you left. Can't wait to see pictures of your White Christmas :).
