finally...a winter wonderland

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!  On Friday, England had it's first major snowstorm of the year and we got about 5 inches here in Grantchester.  That means the entire Cambridge area shut down.  It was really beautiful and it has stuck around the whole weekend.  We thought Cal's first snow would be MN so it was a pleasant surprise.  We're off to MN tomorrow for Calvin's first Christmas and I'm not sure how much time we'll have for posting the next two weeks.  So have a great holiday season and we'll see you in the New Year!

What a festive send-off! Good luck on the fly-over, tell Cal not to throw a wobbler. It'll be worth it. :)

no shovels or salt? sounds just like seattle!

not during the day, but at night they're insane.
