Our first snow

When we chose to move to Seattle, we knew that it was possible to get some snow. We didn't, however, know that it was possible to get 3 inches of snow before Thanksgiving!
This is a picture of the first snow that started last Sunday.


This is a picture of what our house lookied like on Tuesday morning right before we were leaving to head to my parent's house.


We were a little bit nervous because we have to drive over Snoqualmie pass to get to Ellensburg and Monday night there had been closures and accidents because of all the snow. Monday night I braved the snow with all 3 kids to get a set of snow chains and got stuck in the snow at a traffic light! Luckily a nice man gave us a little push and we made it home. Heavenly Father must have known how bad I needed a vacation because Tuesday morning the pass was open, still lots of snow and ice, but no chain requirements. It was a bit slower than normal but we made it there and back without any problems! Yah for vacation!
