Christmas in the PNW

I'm typing at my sister's house where we will be staying for the next couple nights. Mike and I decided to extend our stay in the PNW by 10 days so rather than flying back to Boston on Christmas morning, we'll be here for another week. Hooray!
I am sick with something and have only been awake for a total of about 2 hours though it is 4 o'clock in the afternoon. E is sick with the croup and is napping under piles of blankets. So much for our flu shots - must be east coast bugs only that we are immune to. We spent yesterday morning taking E to her old pediatrician for a dose of steroids to help with the inflamation around her throat. She has her first runny nose and sounds like a little teenage frog.
Otherwise, it is so wonderful to be back in the PNW. Our first day here we felt like we were in our element for the first time in months. It was also nice to be able to walk around without fear of freezing our... eyeballs. We are seriously considering coming back for the summer and will keep you posted with our plans.
Time has been flying by and we would like to see a few more people before heading back east. Hope everyone is enjoying their vacations and time with friends and fam. Isn't it so nice to be with the ones you love?
