Leavenworth 2008 - #1

We enjoyed our third year in Leavenworth, WA. It is a small bavarian style town that hosts many fesvtivals throughout the year - the tree/town lighting being one of their largest ones. I am in love with this little town. You can't help but get in the holiday mood while visiting this town.

We all had a very fun time, spent hours and hours in the cold snow. We visited our favorite little outdoor bar called the Munchin Haus - enjoyed lunch and brews around a toasty fireplace. Enjoyed many of the local gift shops, decor and of course the lighting ceremony itself.

The weather was *perfect* which is good... because up until the day before, even hours before - there was no snow! I personally, can't imagine Leavenworth in December without snow. So, I was overjoyed we ended up wtih snow and a good amount. In fact it snowed pretty much all weekend!

Santa Letter

Tonight Holly worked on her letter to Santa over hot cocoa, she did a great job! She got all of her words down on paper and listed her items she is asking for from Santa. It was a lot of hard work for her to get it all down, but she did. Here are a couple of photos, including her hot cocoa mustache.

Her letter to Santa reads:

Dear Santa,

I have been really good. Here is my list:

Ponyville

Thank You,

Holly
