More snow!

MORE...

AND MORE SNOW!!!

All this snow is absolutely bizarre! BIZARRE! We got totally dumped on. It's over two feet on flat ground and that's nothing to say about the drifts. I have never seen so much snow in my life. I am just hoping that we don't get anymore so that the fam can make it for Christmas. Since it hasn't snowed since about 5pm yesterday and it's already 30 degrees at 7:00am today, my hopes are high. Please everyone... pray that the roads are good enough from my mom, grandma, sister, and sister's boyfriend to come on Wednesday...

Winter Storm 2008

Snow in December... in Portland!?! Yep, that's right. We got almost three inches on our property. It was so dry and cold we weren't able to make a snowman but we did build a snowpile to jump on and slide down. For added excitement, the wind blew down a 30 foot tree in our backyard. Scary... yes... but we made the best of it. The dog used it as a frisbee-catching obstacle course and we are using the wood for the fire. All's well that ends well.

Snowball fight!

I opted out of this part! Sometimes it pays to be behind the camera

Silly boy... and handsome too

Our fallen tree. I can't believe it snapped right at the base. Amazing too that it didn't crush that rickety shed.
