Christmas is postponed ...kind of...

So, Anne and I are still in Tacoma!?! Why is that strange you ask? Well we should have been in sunny Phoenix, AZ this morning having breakfast with my friends Tyler and Claire. We then should have been going to Tucson for Christmas with Anne's family. But...those plans got postponed when our flight got canceled.

Anne and I actually celebrated Christmas on the 18th. She had to stay home from school Wed, Thurs, and Fri due to the weather. We have had snow here since the 15th. We had a great Christmas and got lots of nice presents for each other. Then we went over to my parents house, Mama & Papa Zimmerman, to do Christmas with them on the 20th. This was a short celebration since the snow came that night too and we wanted to get home before the inches piled up and made it really dangerous to drive home.

The snow isn't stopping anytime soon. Here are some pics from our house and yard.

These are our pets, Bailey, the cockapoo, Dixie, the crazy cat, Frank, the dachshund/pitbull

This is our hanging basket in the backyard. Can you believe this? And this was just overnight.

Busy, busy, busy

Hi all! We have been all sorts of busy lately! Here's a quick summary of recent events....

We ran the Turkey Trot 5k on Thanksgiving morning and spent an awesome day with Zach's family in Redmond (mom, dad, brother, aunt, cousins, second cousins, grandpa)...what a fun crowd!

We had a holiday get-together with all of Anne's college buddies and the kiddos...woah!

Anne got baptized on December 7th at Grace Lutheran which was a very powerful experience. Zach's family stood close by during the ceremony :)

We ran the 10k Christmas Rush in Kent on the 13th of December....BURR!! That afternoon, we made more glass-blown creations (ornaments this time), and then went to Anne's staff Christmas party that evening.

We saw a fantastic performance by the Christmas Revels this week. It was a Scottish theme with lots of singing, dancing and story-telling. We got to enjoy it with Mama & Papa Zimmerman :)

Snow day for Anne on 17th (today), and probably more snow days to come. Fun to have a day off, but it will be a bummer when we have to make up the days in June :(

We are headed to Tucson for Christmas, and we will try to keep you updated on our latest winter adventures....it's almost time to SKI!!!!!

Here's a pic from the holiday party we went to....we won honorable mention for our accessorizing abilities (it was an "ugly sweater" contest)
