As I sit here in the Seattle Airport during my 4 hour layover, I'm reflecting back on my awesome trip home for Christmas. Meanwhile, I'm also sitting in the Alaska Airlines super special Board Room with all the rich people because my dad bought me a day-pass. And I'm eating a PB&J that my mom packed for me. Obviously my parents love me a lot. :) 
We were trying to see Mt. McKinley -- even though it's hours away, you can still see it from our town on a clear day. That's how huge it is!! We could make out a faint outline.... but I guess you really can't see it in this picture.
After looking for Mt. McKinley, I was feeling reminiscent, so we went to my high school....
My brother and me in front of the outdoor ice rink where he spent lots of time practicing for the hockey team.
I took a few pictures of our neighborhood. Here's our house....
And the view out my bedroom window:
This is looking down our street... and was taken at dusk... aka 3:30pm.
And I took this one at 10:00 am to show how dark it still is at that hour...
And probably the most exciting thing that happened on my trip was finding out my brother got engaged!! He proposed to his girlfriend, Leane, the day after Christmas and we all found out the next day. Very exciting!
Of course I got a picture of the rock. But I completely spaced out on getting a picture of Adam and Leane together. They told me they'll send me one of them for the blog, so I'll post that as soon as I get it. I do, however, have this one picture of them when we all went to the beach in 2007.... it definitely doesn't fit my Winter Wonderland theme of the post... but here it is!

Very pretty pictures. I like to admire the snow from a distance as I sit here in Texas where it was actually a bit warm today. I would say at least 80 degrees. I had to turn the air conditioner on today. I can not imagine negative temperatures and I would definitely be wearing more clothes than you were. Seriously, where was your hat, scarf, gloves, ski mask, giant quilt....???
It's crazy that your brother and Kirstine's brother got engaged in within months of each other.
Hmm, maybe my brother is next . . .
I second Jen's comment and clothing. Why are you dressed like it's only 50 degrees? At least, that's how I dress when it's 50 degrees.
Yes, I bet your brother IS next!
I would definitely wear warmer clothing if I was spending time outside. But honestly, I only got out of the car for a second to take those pictures... other than that, I was inside in the heat!
