The cold comes in

It was negative 8 degrees yesterday with a windchill factor of 25. The inside of our window frames had about a half an inch of ice built up. The ice was getting between the openings of the windows and sliding glass door and growing ... pushing them open ever so slightly. We took the blowdryer to them.

An 8 degree walk

These birds are abnormally large here.

Ball fields and mountains across as seen from our apartment parking lot.

Along the Anchorage Greenbelt.

Snow on chain link.

Brrr.

Note how dark it is in these photos. It was almost 10 a.m.

Try finding your way around with signs that look like this.

All tuckered out

Christmas Day party

After a week of delays, cancellations and too much snow at SeaTac, we finally got Davin up to Anchorage at 8:30 p.m. Christmas Day.

There was a flurry of wrapping paper and last minute dinner preparations as all our Christmas party guests arrived. We had invited a bunch of friends and coworkers over for a holiday party.

I hope everyone had a very nice Christmas Day.

Want a Chrismas card?

I InDesigned up a little Chirstmas postcard with pictures of myself, Joshua and Davin. It's going out to all the family members, but if anyone else wants a little holiday love I need addresses. Send your mailing address to my e-mail: t_annette@hotmail.com.

Merry Christmas everyone!

No ordinary grocery trip

Who goes to Fred Meyer with two SUV limos and seven cars of police cover? Was Gov. Palin Christmas shopping? I can't think of any other reasonable explaination.
