Arctic Blast...continued

We are now day 12 with snow, which has been the worst snow storm the Northwest has had in 40 years. FYI for those of you that don't know, Portland/Salem are not snow zone areas.

Here's a video of 1 of the 4 days we were at Uncle Justin's and Aunt Christina's house. The kids stayed out for hours sledding, snowboarding, and having snowball fights.

It's been a crazy week of weather up here in the Northwest. School has been canceled everyday and Christmas Break begins next week. The roads have been mad icy and temperatures have been as low as the teens. Remember, we do not live in snow country (i.e. Colorado or North Dakota) so this weather is crazy for us.

Our Christmas Tree

This year we broke tradition. Every year we have gone to the same tree farm but this year one of the boys' soccer teammates started selling from their tree farm. Every tree was only $16 bucks no matter the size and every tree was full - no Charlie Brown trees.
