White Christmas!!!






Its not very ofter we get snow here in Portland and less often it sticks anf even less often on Christmas. This year it snowed as we were unwrapping gifts at John's parents house. There is a forrest behind their house and felt as though we were in the woods in a cabin. I'm not one for cold weather but this year I really missed the early snowfalls when the snow is wet and fluffly. Its calming unlike other weather patterns and this time it reminded me of that. Here are some pictures from our abulous holiday and the snowfall.

That's fun you got snow for Christmas. It looks like Ethan enjoyed seeing it.

Hooray for a white Christmas! I love that about being in Utah...you're almost guaranteed a white Christmas. I'm glad you got one too, and I'm even more glad you enjoyed it.

How beautiful! Can you believe that Christmas is over and now it's 2008? I don't think any of us can believe it. Ethan will be one year old before you know it. He's so cute. We have been in California for the last 5 months for Ber's internship and now we're back to the dreadful cold of the Burg until July. And no, I'm not at Beehive, thank goodness. I quit about 2 weeks before Sydney was born. And I don't miss it at all. :) Happy New Year!
