Snowed In

Well, it is Portland, OR so when it snows the town shuts down. School was shut down for the week...three weeks off and two before Santa came! We spent time playing in the snow and going wild in the house! The boys wore their snow pants for three days straight! Phillip went to work only a couple of days and was able to telecommute the rest. An added bonus for me. As you can guess this was not my ideal...not much of a homebody really. So Phillip would take us out every night after my begging. Here are picks that I got with my digital camera, I will be getting the nice photos printed and put onto a CD soon. Well, lets be honest, sometime before next Christmas!

Xmas

Here are the photos I was able to snap this year...as you can see, we splurged and got a Wii...it is for RJ & Phillip;) Jack is thrilled that he can do coloring whenever he wants now and not when I get the counter cleared off! Hope you had a happy holiday!

Santa

Well, we have been snowed in since Sunday...no school so far this week. The kids and I were fine until last night. Phillip took us all out for dinner and last minute shopping. Today the roads were clear, still no school? So we took Phillip to work and have been puttering around. We made it to the gym (finally) and then bowling, lunch of course and then our big visit to Santa! Jack asked for a horse, and RJ asked for a Wii...not sure how good they have to be for those;)

High Tea

Katie and I started a new tradition this year...there are some amazing things you can do with a girl! We went to High Tea at the Heathman...such fun eating small sandwiches and five different desserts while drinking tea and playing with the tea service. Lexi wore her "party shoes" and took her "party purse" and went to a party with Auntie Heather.

Zoo Lights

One of our favorite traditions is going to the zoo and seeing all the lights they put out for the holidays. It is a magical place. There are so many lights of so many things. Here are the pics that turned out this year.
