 It's now 10:30 and starting to cover.

Wonderful Christmas Vacation

 Days off were full and fun, not much snow,

 lots of cooking and baking,

 fun eats,

 staying warm while I knit and he practiced the piano,

 decorating, gift giving, and cookies for Santa,

 plenty of Hygge,

 eating and fireplace, and knitting...............

 walking along the greenbelt with no water flowing as it is ice..........

 more baking,

and eating.............

 sealing treats in new canisters and the new food saver,

 burning incense,

and sewing Little Lulu Ragdoll and quilting her a new quilt with pillow.

Great Weekend

 Friday night was the Lessons and Carols program at Regis Chapel.  Beautiful!

 Afterwards was his team's Christmas party.

 
 Then to view the lights at City Hall in Westminster. 

 
 As always, I walk and he makes delicious meals and desserts!

Fun Life

 My dental check up was great!  Happy happy joy joy!!!

 When going to Costco for gas, I waited patiently and sympathetically; one poor goose was limping.

 Doc is serenading me as I knit on the Heirloom (gift from Mom).

 Etsy is having Christmas traffic and hand knit socks are in demand.

 Yeah! I'm walking in the early morning without meeting Mr. Red Fox.

 
 Becky asked me 6 weeks ago where I buy my wool mitts.  She too has severe arthritis in her hands,.

She was SO happy and grateful with her gift (no, I'm not St. Nicholas!) that she only took them off when she went for communion. 

Snow and Mr. Fox

 The man figure you see met me at Quail street and we walked together.  I had been hanging near a fence with a large barking dog, hoping the fox would run far and fast. It was COLD!

 The two inches of snow is gorgeous!

 
 
 
 
 Wearing trekkers!

 
 It's probably snowing in the mountains seen from Simms Street.

 My phone battery was about 5% so I didn't get a video of Mr. Fox leaping over the fence.

Snow in Ski Resorts

 The higher elevations received more than 12" of new snow.  We received just a trace.

 It was icy and cold when I left this morning.  I was careful in the parking lot!!

 
 
He's putting up lots of Christmas decorations.
