waling in a winter wonderland

As most should know we have had a cold snap here in the pac north west. The highs are in the teens ans twentys across the area and eastern washington is in the single to negitive temperatures. Here in port angeles we had about 5 inches of snow come down saturday night then it hasn't gotten warm enough to melt since. we are supposed to get more snow tonight 3 to six inches. This is unheard of for port angeles. on the plus side we have had sunshine, and to me it feels like growing up cold and sunny so i'm not really bummed about it.

here are some shots i have taken the last few days.

The Tree is up!

Our family decided that we have to wait until after irish's birthday to decorate fot christmas. We traveled to our favorite local store swains and they had trees for $20. These wern't charlie Brown trees but full nice looking trees.

The Woman has gone crazy

Tomorrow "we" are hosting a birthday party for Irish. Robyn has decided that she is going to make a special cake for the event. This cake takes an hour or more to back upside down and 8 hours to cool then another 4 hours to decorate. That is 13 plus hours on a cake! On top of that Robyn has to be at work tomorrow at 6:30 am and get off in enough time to have people "small chatty girls" arrive. I will be standing guard upstairs keeping the television entertained during the party.

If this cake works out i know that Irish will love it, and expect it every year.
