Call me psychic (no but seriously, I have a certain intuition about these types of things) but I woke up this morning just knowing that this would probably be our last nice day of pretty snow. And sure enough, it's already starting to melt as I type this.
I felt that we HAD to go out one last time, and get some pictures to remember this rarity of a white Christmas in Oregon. There is this one, charming little tree in our backyard that is (or was) blanketed perfectly in snow and never fails to make me think of a Charlie Brown Christmas. So of course it was just begging for some ornaments. Plus, we're leaving for Florida on the 19th and so I don't think we will even have a Christmas tree this year. So this little experience will have to fill their tree void.
Plus, Uncle Shelby was around to take pictures and we have to take advantage of that before he leaves to go home. *sniff* I can't believe how few pictures I've gotten of him during the past 2 years he has lived with us….see, probably some of you didn't even know he'd been living with us! But he is busy and gone 1/2 of the time and we are busy and gone the other half. So it all kinda makes sense, actually.
The girls are going to be a mess when he leaves. He is their FAVORITE. They even choose him over me occasionally, true story. But in all reality……….
