Hmm, which present to open first. A huge thank you to Great Aunts/Uncles Diane, Richard, Toby & David for finding the time to send packages and cards with money in them! It was very fun for Harry to receive presents at his new home, as torturous as it was to wait to open them...
There's never a shortage of present openers at birthday parties, is there....
Sunny doesn't care which family she snuggles up with, as long as they've got warm feet...
Our friends Jill and her daughter Addy braved the snowfall to come, bless them! Jill plays rock-em sock-em robot with cousin Owen.
Harry was quite enthralled with this camera-mounted remote-controlled spy car that Nic picked out for him (though the face he makes trying to shut one eye and see the video feed is kind of freaky to me...)
The icing was so slippery the cake fell over shortly after this was taken. Still tasted great!
The cake has an image of Redwall Abbey on it.
All in all, a lovely party, despite the snow that kept folks away and the still-new, still-strange environs.
A few days after Harry's party, we got yet another snow! It's lovely each time and I can enjoy it until I start thinking about the fact that it's not even officially winter yet and we've already had three snows in the four weeks we've been here for god's sake! Then I calm down and remember how everyone says the weather changes constantly here and I'm sure it will be warm(ish) and sunny again soon... Right??

Looks like a fun party- happy birthday to Harry! I am jealous of the snow, but only for a moment as my wimpy self shivers glancing out the window at the thin layer of frost that is covering our yard that kept me from a morning walk. What a different (and winter-y wonderland!) world than sunny So Cal!
So, how has the weather been overall since you arrived there? Does the snow go away within a few days like I read? Is it sunny most days?
Love,
Wendi
