This past Christmas, we headed up to Redmond to spend time with Diane’s family. I was looking forward to some cool weather and hoping that we might get some snow. Unfortunately, the weather warmed up into the 40s, so I was left with the occasional drizzle. On the Monday after arriving, we all headed to Seattle to see White Christmas. It was preceded by dinner at Benihana’s, which was fun.

We spent most of the week hanging out with family, playing lots of games, and wrapping lots of presents. It was fun to see the nieces and nephews and their reactions to Christmas. I haven’t been around little kids on Christmas in a very long time. Other than that, I headed home early because of a business trip up to Alaska while Diane stayed with her family for an extra week.
