Last Saturday was a pretty busy day. The first of three storms hit Friday but Saturday was significantly heavier. We were on our way home after going to Corner Bakery and decided to stop by the bridge on Flower to see what the creek looked like. It's alway been dry, but it was pretty full and moving fast.
We've never seen it if full of water, of course, we rarely make it a point to go see it when it's raining!
If you look really, really closely you can see the rain coming down =>
Later in the day, we came home to see our street looking like this. The water was starting to come over the sidewalk. We've never scene it this bad and it continued to rain and rain and rain.
Despite the rain, we still spent most of the day out and even managed to pick out our Christmas tree. Of course, right after we got there it started raining even harder. This was the second one we looked at but we thought it was perfect. So we brought it home and let it dry for a few hours while we went to our neighborhood Christmas party and a Christmas concert at the church next to the park. The Christmas party was wet and they had brought in snow for the kids but with all the rain it was a bit slushly. The kids loved it though. The concert was really good, complete with an orchestra to accompany the singers.
After the concert, we had dinner and decorated our tree. It's our first tree in our house (last year we went to England for Christmas). It's a Noble Fir and is over 6ft tall. It was so much fun to unwrap all of our ornaments from Chiswick and remember where and when we bought them. So far this Christmas season has been amazing and Christmas is still a week away =>
