View of the snowy cedars from our deck...our vehicles...10" and the snow falls steadily. Unusual and welcome weather here in the Pacific Northwest!

I am trying to keep this holiday blog alive.

What is your favorite:

1) bird?
2) book when you were a child?
3) book that you read in 2008 that you recommend?
4) a holiday recipe or tradition that you would like to share?

Please send all answers to me at elsabouman@gmail.com
along with any ancient or recent photos that I could post?

Thanks for your contributions as I know you are all busy, life is hectic, but I love family connections that we can share and as we are all far away from one another it helps keep us close during this holiday time of year.

Love, Elsa, Ray and Johnny
