This is How We Do It

"But don't you miss the seasons?" "How does it feel like Christmas without snow?" These are the questions I have been getting for 9 years. I left Ohio in 2003 and yes, it was a bit weird the first winter in L.A. - driving with my window down while listening to Christmas carols. Sometimes I miss winter and snow, but mostly I just don't. And if I do, we can easily drive a few hours north and experience it all or we can just enjoy random snow days right here in the neighborhood. This was Lionel's first time with snow and let me tell you, the kid throws a mean snowball! Everett just couldn't stay on his sled (but I think it was on purpose) and ended up with snow in his ear! Lionel LOVED sledding and said, "I want to go again!" as soon as the sled skidded to a stop. We plan to hit Flagstaff for more sledding this winter.
