Snow Part IV

Pretty soon I'm going to run out of roman numerals that I know if this snow doesn't stop! I had to update with the pictures above. I'm worried that by morning this poor BMW is going to be lost in the snow. Crazy huh?

Snow Part III

I think this is what they mean when they say you are snowed in. By the morning there was a good 6 inches or so more lining our front door.
This is what happens when you drive into the garage with a bike on top of your car and you knock the bottom piece off the door. This missing piece didn't pose too much of a problem until we had a blizzard!

Our lovely gingerbread house we made during the storm.

I think a small child might drown in the snow!

Happy Birthday to Me!

My mother-in-law made me this adorable quilt for my birthday. I absolutely love it!

Snow Continued

Check out how deep the snow is!

A common scene around the Seattle area.

Pulling the kids on a sled behind the 4-wheeler.

Snow Storm 2008

Snow if finally here! This was the best anniversary gift we could have received. This morning we went out on the 4 wheeler in the bitter cold. It was sooooo fun! I guess I was too crazy of a driver because Andrew rode on the back for about 10 seconds and then demanded I let him off.

Happy Holidays in Leavenworth

This weekend we went to Leavenworth with some friends. We had a blast! We stayed in a friend's cabin on Lake Wenatchee and then went to the Christmas Lighting Ceremony in Leavenworth. Note Santa's beard on his right side. The elastic of his beard was totally exposed. Hopefully the kids weren't very observant. Thanks Alex and Megan for inviting us to come along!

Some Random Pictures I Couldn't Pass Up

This is what happens when a crazy, old, drunk woman (bad combo) hits your parked car. The sad part is Andrew had to jump in front of her car to stop her....she didn't even realize she had hit our car!
Our garage that was once for cars, but is now for bikes, motorcycles, and 4 wheelers. Who knew this is what marriage would bring?

Our trip to Costco on the pavement. Andrew decided to balance everything on the side of his truck so he could take the leaning tower of groceries in the house all at once. This was the result (not good). 2 dozen eggs rolling around the parking lot.

The cutest little guy you have ever seen. His age directly reflects the time we have been married. He was born during our reception!

Does this one really need a caption? It speaks for itself.

Christmas Tree Time

This year we went and bought our Christmas tree from the cutest old man you have ever met in your whole life! He is 94 years old and he grows Christmas trees on his property. He sells them and gives 100% of the profit to Children's Hospital. He hobbles around with his cane and offers his help. He even gives you a kitty litter bag to kneel on while you cut your tree down. We found the perfect tree and have already set it up! Just an FYI....trees look much smaller in a field compared to when you get them in your house. Just ask my brother-in-law Sam if you don't believe me.

Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving. After finishing 28 parent teacher conferences, I was definitely ready for a break. We had Thanksgiving lunch with the Moultons and Thanksgiving dinner with the Porter clan. It was so nice to get to spend time with both families. Uncle Andrew brought his motorized mini bike (if that' s what you call it) and of course was the favorite amongst the nieces and nephews on both sides. That evening Andrew and I went and stayed the night at The Vintage Park Hotel in Seattle. We told them it was our anniversary (well, almost) and they upgraded our room. The next morning we woke up, got breakfast, and walked down to see the parade. After the parade we did a little shopping....that was definitely Andrew's favorite part!
