My last post was a fun day in the snow... back when we loved the snow. Now, not so much. Make it STOP!! Due to the crazy amounts of snow and ice all over the pacific northwest they canceled all the flights into portland and seattle yesterday resulting in a long, disappointing day at the airport. We've been talking up Christmas at Grandma's so much Izak was in tears several times yesterday when we had to explain why we couldn't "get on airplane to go gramagrampa house." So last night after returning home we decided to drive I ran to the store for travel food, a DVD player and some Diego and we were set, or so we thought. turns out all the roads we would be driving on to get to WA are closed. :( Now that I've complained, there are a couple big things I am thankful for... first off, we are all still together as a family and that's important to me. Secondly, at least we are stranded at home instead of some awful airport in some other state where we have no place to go. We're still hopeful they might add a flight to portland today or tomorrow but if not, we'll be around. :) Merry Christmas everyone!

Let it snow!
Okay so here goes nothin... usually I can find a million other things that are higher on my priority list of stuff to do, but tonight I am dedicated to finding a way to post pics. I don't know if you've been outside lately, but baby it's COLD outside!!! I'm offically beginning hybernation. Last week just before the weather dropped to numbingly cold temperatures we were able to squeeze in a mini snow day. I remember I woke up to huge flakes falling outside and it snowed ALL day until about 4:00. As soon as Izak woke up from his nap we suited up and hurried outside to enjoy the last hour of light. He had a blast throwing, eating and rolling in the snow but I think his favorite part was tackling the snowman. The whole time we were building it, he kept trying to knock him over. After the third beheading he finally agreed to help me with the finishing touches for a picture. Here's a peek at our backyard winter wonderland. :)
