We survived the snow storm... & had a white Christmas

Well the snow lasted about 2 weeks total. It was CRAZY!!! We have not had that much snow in Oregon since the 1950's. We had about 16 inches in all- which we tried to keep up the shoveling on the driveway. It was a tough job, but we had to get out a few times. We all started to get cabin fever- and I had to go to work a couple days as well. The boys loved playing in the snow and sledding especially! All the small cars in the neighborhood could not move and started to become giant snow balls! This is a view out our front door.

This is the back porch which gives some idea how much, but we got more after this... Brad even walked to the closest tire store to buy chains for my car one day so that we could get out of the house.


On Christmas night (at my parents house) Brayden went out play with Brad and Grandpa John. Uncle Tony and Dominic came out as well. Grandpa John had built an igloo and they had some fun in there as well as sledding. Man what fun we had, but I think we were all happy when the rain returned after Christmas!

Peacock Lane

We took a trip to a local Christmas Landmark- Peacock Lane.  It is in Portland.  Every house on the lane decorates with Christmas lights.  Several do amazing things! I had not been since I was younger.  I had wanted to take the kids in the past couple years, but we just did not make it. We had a clear, dry night and took advantage. :)

Moved & Ready for Visitors!!!

Image
We are officially moved people!!!! After a month and a half of constant work in getting the place ready, we have made the journey and came out in one piece for the most part.  We have gotten things unpacked and put in their respective places.  And been finishing up some details in several rooms.  We have some smaller projects left, but the majority of the work is done and the house looks great!  We now have it decorated for Christmas and ready for Santa to make his stop. Brylee would like to give you a tour! Enjoy the pictures: The front of the house: The side view of the front yard: A view into the backyard: The front porch: The Sunroom: The Kitchen (a little dark), but the paint looks awesome!

Per my mom's request I am posting some pictures of me when I was young and some pictures of Brylee.  My mom was recently going through some old photos and gave me these.  She said that she could not believe the similarities as she was looking at the pictures.  So Mom here you go!
