It takes a village

It takes a village to raise a family of readers... In our case a Santa's village and a footstool puppy. Alex was enjoying his history book in the net swing with Barkley. Anni was enjoying an Arthur story with her favorite blanket to stay warm on this very chilly day.

Here's the Santa's village we made today
And here are our deck plants enjoying a prime spot on top of Barkley's kennel to stay warm during our very cold cold snap.
We braved the elements and mostly the very icy roads to make a grocery run and do a bit of holiday shopping. We avoided all big hills after Seattle made the national news for two buses sliding down Capitol hill (very near where Chissy used to live), crashing through a barrier, and ended up dangling over the I-5 freeway. Luckily, no one was seriously hurt.
