White Christmas


This year was the year for Tyler and I to head down to Seattle for Christmas and spend it with my family. Little did we ever expect in Sept. when we bought our tickets that we would be having a white Christmas. There was about 9 inches of snow at my parents house and it was rather cold outside. The best thing was that it snowed on Christmas day. What a perfect backdrop for a wonderful and perfect day.

We managed to fit a whole lot into just 5 days. We had Christmas, Rosemary's 1st Birthday party and lots of friends to visit. We managed to see almost everyone we wanted to. We had a great time playing games with the Tholls and the Platts. I got to have coffee with my good friend Doris-Rai from High School. We had a delicious breakfast with the Olanders and hope to get to see them up here in our neighborhood soon for another visit; and we also got to spend time with the Smalls. We are so blessed to have so many good family friends down in Seattle. You all have an impact on our lives and we love catching up with you all.

The greatest joy of being down in Seattle was spending time with my family. Tyler got to meet Rosemary for the first time and PJ entertained us all with her dancing, singing and continual comments. My mom made an amazing dinner for about 17 people and like always we had the traditional Greenfield family sharing at the end of the night where we all share what we have learned or experienced over the last year. It is a great time of reflection and fun for Tyler and I to hear from everyone since we miss so much living so far away.

Out time was sweet and as always way to short. But we have lots of pictures to remember our time and we hope to see all of you some time soon.

What great pics lo!
You'll have to send me some of the ones you got of the girls so I can use them in their baby books...They both look so old I almost didn't recognize them...my babies are growing up! Love you!
