As of this morning...it's still snowing at our house. This is the biggest snow storm we have seen in Oregon in years. 1968 was the largest storm, which equals this storm is the second largest snowstorm in Oregon's history! I have not been to work in a week and a half. Although, the first few days was great, I have definitely become stir crazy! You can only do so many loads of laundry, clean the house a few times and not work out more that two times a day! :) I am looking forward to Christmas Eve tonight with the Bushmans, tomorrow with the Gallingers (even though Jeff will be working), and Christmas day with the Garelli's. Keep posted for additional photos. Make it a great day!

Jeff & Cooper

Cooper loves the snow! It's super cute when she attempts to run with her short legs.

I hope everyone in Blog land is enjoying this crazy weather. It seems as though most of the US is experiencing snow. Did you hear Las Vegas even had snow? The forecast for the weekend is looking like an additional 6 to 10 inches of snow. I have been off work for most of the week and am definitely going stir crazy. All of my 'chores' at home are completed, what do I do now? :)

Enjoy!

We headed over to LaGrande after Thanksgiving to spend a few days with the family. Attended our traditional "LaGrande Festivities" like the twelve minute Christmas parade, Denny's bar, and the bowling alley. Good times!
