My Oh My do we have snow. I came downstairs this morning at 6:30 am and the snow was falling and it has not stopped all day. In fact it just gets heavier as the evening goes on. I have lived in Oregon for 11 1/2 years and this is the most snow that I have seen. The weatherman said we should have it all day tomorrow as well. Keeping my fingers crossed for a Monday snow day from work. The schools were closed this whole last week because we actually started seeing snow last Sunday. We were scheduled to go to Mt. Hood tomorrow for the Polar Express train ride. I made the reservations in February because they sell out fast and I wanted to ensure a ride this year. We even bought the movie for Keegan to watch so that he would know what we were doing but they called us today and said that they had cancelled it due to the snow. Darn It.... we have waited all year. So I could either get a refund or reschedule for next year. I decided to reschedule. I have to call back in April to make a new reservation. Ugggh!! How am I suppose to remember that? I guess we will have to wear our favorite jammies and drink hot cocoa and watch the movie tomorrow. We won't get to see Santa and we won't get our souvenier silver bell, but at least we will be safe.
We decided to go out this evening and let Keegan tromple through the snow. He loved it. He didn't want to come in. The snow was pretty deep. We were hoping to build a snowman but the snow is too soft. You can't even make a snowball. Well it looks like we will have a white Christmas this year. Now we are just hoping that Damon, Kristen and Mason can make it home from Chicago in time for the big day. Happy Holidays.

Looks like you're having lots of fun in the snow! Wish we were there to enjoy it with the kids. Our flight is scheduled to come into Portland at 11 pm so I am hoping the weather clears by then!
We hope you can get in too. The weather isn't suppose to clear though. I just heard that we are suppose to have snow/freezing rain until midnight and then another 2-3 inches of snow after that. It is snowing pretty hard right now and we just got a layer of freezing rain right before. I did hear the airport was still open but some flights had been cancelled. We will keep hoping you can get here. We all want you home safe. Love you and miss you.
