The most wonderful time of the year

We had a lovely time downtown this evening. All the holiday lights are up now, people are festively buying gifts, and there's hot cocoa everywhere. Inside the Pacific Place shopping center everyday at 6 p.m., it snows -- inside! Helena loved trying to catch the flakes in her hand to eat. The picture above is of her mesmerized by the snow as it drifted down on shoppers and a choir below.
