SNOW!

On Sunday we had snow and it's been really cold ever since. I did chain up so that we could make it to church in Happy Valley without going in a ditch or running over a llama. Jason picked us up and we went out to dinner and watched the snow fall. Here's a picture I took yesterday of our malamute Kiska - she so loves the snow and the cold.

We are now getting the second round of snow - and this one is supposed to be accompanied by freezing rain. I hope to make it home before it gets too bad.

The third round is supposed to hit on Sunday - hopefully it won't be too bad. We are going to the Hardings in Troutdale to celebrate Christmas. Jason & I are planning on flying out to Sacramento on Monday to spend Christmas with his family.

Evening with Family

Great-Grandma was excited to meet Ricky for the first time. And Tris was excited to meet Rob, Debbie, Nicole, Amanda, & Ricky. We enjoyed lasagna made by mom and enjoyed playing around, making a puzzle, and ice cream & cookies for dessert. Here's a few pictures from the evening.

And here we have sisters to the rescue.

Nicole & Amanda helped Ricky get his elephant from Jason.

Thanksgiving 2008

We celebrated Thanksgiving at Jason's home with his mom Tris, my mom Bonnie, & my grandma Mildred. Jason cooked a good bird and we enjoyed a nice afternoon of good food and fun games. Here's a couple pics . . .
