White Christmas

A snowy holiday season isn't all that unusual in our neck of the woods, but this year we got to share at Dad's house in Portland, Ore., where more than a foot of fluffy stuff fell in the weeks preceding Christmas.

For one guest in particular - my brother Stefan's girlfriend, Mia, who grew up on the far side of Maui - it was the most snow she'd seen in her life. What's a girl to do? She strapped on Jen's snowshoes and took to the backyard, playing in the powder.
