Seattle Paralyzed by Chance of Snow
After living in Utah, Idaho and Alaska this is a very different attitude about snow!
Seriously?!

First Snowfall
Saturday night we had our first snowfall. We had a solid inch on the ground, but the roads were clear. Sunday they canceled church.
Because it is so humid here they worry about the roads getting too slick. We are happy the snow came in time for a White Christmas, and the weather forecast shows we will probably get a little more in the next week.

Kayla's 1st Birthday and Thanksgiving
For Thanksgiving this year we headed south to Seth's parent's house. Summer and Brian and their kids also came. Kayla's birthday came just a few days before Thanksgiving.
First we opened presents.
After blowing out the candle, we let Kayla dive into a brownie with whipped cream. She did not like the way the whipped cream stuck to her hands.
But she did like the brownie.
Overall she decided that it was a pretty fun first birthday.
For more of Kayla's 1st birthday, Seth is working on a video that covers Kayla's first year of life. We will post that when it is finished. So...more to come.
On Thanksgiving we had two turkeys, one traditional, one BBQ. Incidentally, one of the turkeys weighed 22 lbs. The other weighed 12 lbs. Strangely close to the weight of the two babies.

Brynn with the 12 lbs. turkey.
Thanksgiving dinner was delicious. And the people we spent it with were wonderful.
The rest of the week we spent just enjoying each other.

Thank you to Grandma and Grandpa Hutchings who housed us and fed us and gave us such a fun vacation.

On Saturday we made a little trip to the Seattle Asian Art Museum (SAAM).
This is Sam the camel who sits out front. Similar camels sit in front of the Seattle Art Museum (SAM). These camels were carved 500 years ago in Asia.
This is the view from the front door of the museum.
Right next to the museum we discovered this strange building that looks like a medieval castle...
...which turned out to be a very elaborate water tower. We climbed the steep steps to the top...
...and were rewarded with this beautiful view of Seattle:
You can almost see our home in this picture:
New England may be famous for their autumns, but I think here in the Northwest we can give them a run for their money.

Happy Halloween
Here are a few pictures of Kayla in her Halloween costume. She got to go trick-or-treating to a couple of neighbors' houses. Mom and Dad helped her with the candy.
