Today was the day we were supposed to fly to Seattle for Christmas with Shelby's family. We got to the airport very easily and quickly and were hoping that it was an omen. It wasn't. After sitting there seeing our flight listed as on time and then with a 15 minute delay the flight was canceled. One more reason for me to hate the snow (as if I needed more...)
Riley was a trooper through the whole thing. Once we got settled into seats near the window he had a good time. Some pictures:
Checking the snow and ice on the window

Here's a video of him doing gymnastics by the terminal window:
Once we found out that our flight was canceled we went through the process of getting our bags and going back to our car. Riley got a chance to practice his driving skills while Daddy packed the car:
Then we figured all was not lost since now we had time to go out for a sushi lunch at one of our favorite places, Sake. Riley joined in on the feast:
Riley got special treatment with a warm damp towel to wash his hands with after eating. Then all the waitresses had to come over and give him a Christmas present when it was time to go. He told them thank you with sign language and said, "Bye bye!" They were all very impressed.
Since we had no plans for the rest of the day, we called our friends Justin and Alecia and made impromptu plans for dinner and hanging out:
We found some minor changes had been made to our Christmas card
Justin was able to find Riley's 'tickle' and Riley enjoyed Justin's pizza shirt
Riley loved the fact that the lights in the kitchen were also balls, but was very concerned that one of the lights was not turned on
He was also concerned that the pole lamp might not be turned on
So we checked
We hope to get out tomorrow. The weather isn't looking a lot better on either end of the country. We'll see. It'll be a very long day if we do. And Seattle, where it usually rains and there is no snow now has more than we do.
Great.
Jonathan
