These were some of the skies about and above the Santa Monica Mountains today in Camarillo, California.
This is what the neighborhoods look like in the Seattle area right now.
Our 4 kids have airline tickets to fly from the Seatac Airport to the Long Beach Airport Tuesday evening. We are hoping and praying that their flight will not be cancelled and that they will make it here. This is the first time in 16 years we are all gathering with the Bagdanov extended family for Christmas Eve. The last time ellen b’s immediate family attended the celebration was in 1992! We felt it was high time for us all to attend this annual event. My parents, our kid’s grandparents, are 85 now and we wanted our kids to experience this event with them again now that they are all adults. If our kids make it down and if Lana G. and her husband make it down there will be 35 of us celebrating in Huntington Beach at my sister Vera and her husband Nick’s house.
So all of this to just get personal and let you know that I will keep busy tomorrow so I don’t fall into worry mode over whether Seatac gets it’s act and de-icer together to get those planes in the air again!
Photobucket is holding all my photos from 2007 to 2015 hostage and has replaced them all with ugly black and grey boxes asking for a ransom to have them re-published. Such a frustrating bother as I go through each post to delete the ugly boxes.

Hi Ellen, I hope your family is able to make it there, and safely! Enjoy your Christmas Celebration! 🙂 Merry Christmas! ~hugs, Rhonda
Oh, I hope they DO make it! But it doesn’t look good, at least not according to the reports today. Tomorrow is another day however.
Does this 50 degree weather we are experiencing here feel cold to you, Seattlite that you are? I’m sitting at my computer, in my house, with a warm knit scarf around my neck because I am freezing. And the heater is on!
Sara! I guess I still have my web feet because I had the windows open today to cool down the condo :0)
I hope we make it! Oh yes I hope we make it!! Please oh please let us make it!
Beautiful skies!
I’ll be praying for your family to be able to be together this week. We’re due to go to Seattle in Feb. Is snow likely then?
Wishing you all the best this Christmas and a blessed New Year!
God bless you and your family! ♥
Oh, here’s hoping they make it, Ellen! 35 in one house – they must have quite a place 🙂
Praying for on time and safe travels!
Hi Ellen,
Will be praying along with you that all your kids make it to CA!
Good morning Ellen, I don’t know when I’ve heard of so much snow in Seattle. Praying they all make it down! It’s miracle time God and grant Ellen peace today!
Hi Ellen,
I just caught up on my blog reading! Wow – you/ve been busy! I’ll pray that they all make the flight ok. God bless all you Bags and Merry Christmas!
Hi Ellen B.,
Would you like to adopt me into your family :)? Hubby’s family is boycotting Christmas due to control issues. It sounds like you’ll all have a grand time with your family. I’ll say a prayer for de-icing and safe travels.
I hope you have a wonderful stress free day.
🙂 Cori G.
oh my…yes. My sister lives in Spokane and I have seen pics of the HUGE snowfall you have all had. Will pray for safe traveling for all.
Sending you wishes for a total family gathering in Huntington Beach. We will be in Lake Forest and then meeting the Bogs in Santa Barbara for the weekend.
God Bless you all.
I’m praying the kids and Lana and hubby all make it tonight as scheduled. A very Merry Christmas to all!!
Yup that looks familiar! Praying the weather will clear up and all will be together for you for Christmas!
