We went to Leavenworth (a German look-alike town in middle Washington) back in December as part of our pre-Christmas celebratory fun. I am just now getting the pictures posted. The day was throughly enjoyed by all. For those who enjoy a Christmas lights display and "Christmas magic" moments, I would highly recommend coming (Good Morning America came this year, and rated it as the number ?? of America's best light displays). For those who prefer rock concerts and extreme sports, this may not be your ideal, but if you like Chestnuts rosted on an open fire, Air Force bands, and Father Christmas walking down the street, this is the place for you! (Richie actually got out of buying rosted Chestnuts...a man was walking down the street and said to his wife, "Well, I'm done with these, we should see if anyone wants them." Not to miss an opportunity, Richie replied, "We'll take those off your hands for you," and the man gave them to us. What a friendly town!)

As the photographer of the trip, I felt it important to get a picture of myself.
After gathering into a huge crowd in town square and singing Silent Night, they turned on all the Christmas lights. It was lightly snowing at the same time and was beautiful. Here's some of the shops lit up.
