I am grateful for a snow day. We kept the kids home from school and daycare.

I am grateful for a glimpse of Mt. Baker from a walk we took to Summit Park.

I am grateful for the best cup of hot chocolate I’ve ever had. Julie made it. It involved cream and chocolate chips. It was sublime.

I am grateful for a feast with my folks at JJ’s (a fave Chinese restaurant). It’s the last time the boys will see them before they head home to Calgary. I am grateful they have the means and motivation to spend the time out here that they do every winter.
