We're finally feeling a bit of winter chill, but not enough of it for Mike's taste. The mountains bask in a white blanket.
Eliza continues visiting the ponies Raunchy and Jack.
Kai got to come too. He was on high alert. Kai was jealous that one of his favorite humans was associating with another mammal. Poor Kai.
Eliza had a riding lesson at BUH. This pony is named Harvey.
Mike decided to update his Facebook profile pic, so here's a rare Mike sighting. Smile, boy!
And here's another view of the coastal-themed Christmas cheer at home.
Here's Eliza with a tasty treat. Starbucks had a day where drinks were 50% off. Lucky girl.
While Mike and Hallie were at the store, they saw these enormous pomegranates for $4.99 a piece. Mike put his hand up for a reference.
We got snow on Friday. Mike says it's about time. The look on Hallie's face says she's none too pleased. It stuck around on Saturday and had mostly melted in the valleys by Sunday with some rain that came in. Yay for clean air and no more inversion! Mike thinks it's too warm for December and that the rain should have been more snow. Hallie's classroom has no windows, so it can be a bit of a shock when she leaves for the day and sees the white stuff.
Speaking of snow, 'tis the season for paper snowflakes! Hallie showed off to Priscilla a couple Mike had cut this week.
Mike took Eliza over to visit R&J on Sunday. Fergus decided to tag along. He wasn't too sure about the horses but managed to find and kill a varmint while we brushed the ponies and Eliza rode around for a bit.
These trees are full of the loudest little birds in the neighborhood. You can really hear them off 950 W. Occasionally, a few of them will fly over to Jaker's and scrounge around for corn or whatever is in the now-vacant fields.
Sunday was a very nice relaxing day. Landon did homework, Hallie and Eliza read lots of
The Questfields: A Summer in Yosemite, and Mike took a bike ride. In the early evening we chatted with G'pa and G'ma Owens.
