Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow

Here is Annika and Ally, Addison in the snow, Thor in front of the house, the family sledding on Saturday while celebrating Christmas with the Hauke Family, and the girls sledding on the driveway.

Christmas Break 2008

Today is the first official day of the Winter Break, but those of you who live near us in Oregon will know that our Winter Holiday started a week ago. The girls missed the entire week of school due to snow and ice on the roads. The funny thing is that while we were happy with the mere inches that fell sporadically thru the week (and slightly less happy with the ice each morning) the real snow didn't start falling until this past weekend. I am not sure of the 'official' snow accumulation, but I am guessing that we have somewhere between 8-12", depending on if you are near a drift. Annika and Addison have been sledding more times than I can count. Thor has had to play the hero for all of us when we need a trip to the store or orthodontist, since he is comfortable getting around in his 4-wheel drive, while I pretty much won't venture out. I'm not even sure if I could get the van down the driveway! I will post photos of our latest events so you can see all of our beautiful snow, as well as the busy life we have been leading lately.
