So far this year . . .

What have we been up to so far this year?



No, this picture isn't a mistake. It was taken in 2011. Every time we tried to catch Santa at the mall, he was gone to take care of his reindeer. But he made one last stop in Juneau, at the potluck at church, before heading back up to the north pole. He graciously agreed to have a picture taken with Marie. Special thanks to Dale "Santa" Hudson.



We've had several cold days. A lot of the snow had melted. But with all the moisture we have in Juneau, we've had frost upon frost upon frost. This is called hoar frost. It's really pretty to see what it lookes like when it accumulates on different things like the fence post (in this picture), mail box, and trees/bushes.

Marie decided to just sit down on the ice instead of trying to walk across it.


We've had some pretty long icicles, although not as impressive as our first winter here. But Marie thought they were pretty neat, and she liked to eat them too!
