Thanksgiving has come and gone--which means it is time for another blog entry.  We went over to Grandma and Grandpa Hodson's for dinner.  Great Grandma Alice came too.  We ate ourselves sick--as usual--and had a great time.  On Saturday we went to ZooLights at the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium.  There weren't too many live animals to see since it was at night, but the lights were spectacular.  Alice especially loved the huge rainbow.  She and William enjoyed themselves on the carousel.  We don't have any pictures of that, but hopefully we can get family members to send them to us.  Just when we thought the long weekend was done, it snowed on Sunday.  Plus, it has been snowing virtually all day today (Monday).  It is now 10pm and 26 degrees outside--the snow is definitely here to stay tonight.  Alice got some new snowboots today and tried them out in the backyard this afternoon.  We also took a walk late tonight down to the main road to see all the car that parked haphazardly because they couldn't get up the hill.  What a mess!  Jake took every opportunity to get out and drive in the snow.  I have never seen him more eager to go pick up some grocery items for me at the store.  When he got back from doing that, he rushed down to the hardware store to get a snow shovel for the 3 inches of snow on our sidewalks.  On his way back from the store, he saw a little family waiting for the bus.  They had been waiting there for 2 hours in the snow with their 19-month old daughter.  He offered to give them a ride home--which ended up taking about 4 hours with the terrible traffic.  My husband--the Do-Gooder.  I was actually surprised he didn't stay out longer trying to dig cars out of ditches or pull cars up hills.  Any excuse to use the 4-wheel drive and call other people "idiot drivers".
