１２月１日にクリスマスツリーをだしました。小さめなクリスマスツリーだけど私達にとってはちょうど良いサイズ。
そして５日は私の母親から荷物が届きました。沢山の食べ物や洋服、ありがとう。
６日の夜は、初めてさくらに雪を見せました。
８日、９日はジョシュの仕事はおやすみでした。雪が大量に降ったため、家で待機の事。
３０〜４５センチの雪がこの２日間で積もりました。雪かきも大変でした。そしてとにかく寒い。
We have begun a family tradition. We will set up our Christmas tree on the 1st of December from now on. Sakura wanted to help and she made sure that everything was out of the box. (It is our small Christmas tree but it is perfect for us.) Maybe in the future we will cut our own or just buy a larger one. Times will change. On the 5th of December we received a 'goodie' package from Hideko in Japan. Some food & more clothes for Sakura. The following day, Sunday night was the first snow that Sakura experienced. We had to take some pictures even though it was dark. With the snowfall, Josh had both Tuesday & Wednesday off from work as the base was closed for snow removal. We ended up shoveling our 12-18" of snow both days. (Wednesday was primarily a lot of wind and blowing snow.) We have a lot to look forward to with Sakura growing up and playing in the snow!
