For those of you who are Fahrenheit challenged, that's -16 degrees celsius. Why did we leave Japan again? Actually we've been having a fabulous time here in Yakima.
We landed in Seattle at 8:30 on Saturday morning:
and Sarah's brother Seth picked us up. Thanks Seth! We ate lunch with him, then high-tailed it across the pass just ahead of the storm. It was 10 degrees as we arrived Yakima and the snow began falling in fine dry flakes. By morning, we had several inches of powder.
We were all a bit jetlagged on Sunday:
but today everyone seems to be more-or-less adjusted.
Tomorrow we are going to head down to Pasco to visit my relatives down there, then we head up to Omak on Wednesday for Christmas with Sarah's grandparents. They've got a bit more than a foot of snow up there, but it's a bit closer to freezing there too, so maybe Robbie will be more interested in playing outside.
We'll head back to Yakima on Saturday, then it's over to Lacey on Sunday.

Did Robbie walk in the snow much? Reed didn't want his feet anywhere near it... it was just "UP".
Well, Robbie has his ups and downs a bit confused, so if he didn't want to shuffle through the snow anymore, he would put his arms up above his head, screw his face into his most irresistible expression, and say "Down! ... ... ... please?"
We tried to bundle Robbie all up, but as you can see from the photo, we could not get him to wear his mittens. So, although I got him to walk through the front yard and down into the street, as soon as he slipped and had to put a hand down into the snow, that was about the end of his tolerance for snow.
