Since our last post we all got to spend a lovely Christmas on Mercer Island. Lou had a great time this year, discovering all of mom’s Christmas dolls and dancing to the “Holly Jolly Santa” that goes off every time you walk by it.
Chris and I both came down with whatever nasty GI bug is making it’s way around the northwest but were both recovered enough to enjoy a quick trip up to Leavenworth to finally find some snow before Chris had to head back to work. We had a great time eating sausage, listening to live accordion music and playing in the snow. Lou was really jealous of the kids sledding on the hill next to the pergola, so next time we go, we’ll be sure to bring our sled along. Also we discovered a great little butcher shop called Cured. The shop is filled with delicious sausages and some amazing bacon, worth a stop if you are in Leavenworth.
