Lots and Lots of Snow!

Merry Christmas!

Snow in Oregon = No School

The past two days there has been no school in the Portland area due to a dusting of snow and really icy roads. We are hoping to be off the rest of the week too! Here's just a few shots of all the fun things we've been doing to keep busy...I can totally be a stay at home mom if needed! I love spending my days with Anna and I think she was pretty excited about being at home too!

Fort Building

This is where we've been reading all of our bedtime stories. After about 2 books I start to get a little claustrophobic.

We spent this morning with Ronan and Aunt Amy playing and making ginger bread houses.

One of Anna's all time favorites....hugging Rowan!


We've made many trips outdoors to play in the snow.

Anna's favorite part of going outside in the snow is coming back in to drink hot coco.

The Great Pumpkin

Anna and I love the Fall! This past weekend we went to the pumpkin patch with Quinn and then over to Rowan's house to carve our pumpkins. We had so much fun! We ate corn on the cob, went on a hay ride and explored the pumpkin patch to find the perfect pumpkin. At Rowan's house we played with our new friend Eli and ate yummy homemade soup and candy apples. We can't wait for Halloween...the last picture is a preview of Anna's costume.
