Snow and Christmas Update - Part I

Well, its been a while, but I thought I would update the family blog.  First, the week before Xmas week, we had a very abnormal winter weather storm that left the streets with snow and icy conditions, making it very difficult for people to get out and cancelled school the whole week.  Day care was cancelled as well, and lets say....Jason (I) worked from home and had a sitter come over in the mornings to assist Jacob-sitting while I had meetings etc.  It really helped out.  Ethan spent the first part of Xmas break with us and it was awesome.  Suzi's parents came out the Thursday before Xmas, and stayed for 8 days or so.  Ethan and Grampy worked on a snow fort and a huge (8 foot) snowman....We had over 2 feet accumulation.  I had cabin fever, and so, I drove into Forest Grove...let me tell you CHEVY TAHOE's are excellent in the snow and ice....no chains.  I was so impressed, I decided to pull a neighbor out of the middle of the street (she was in her benz with no chains, silly girl!)...we had a blast depending on that SUV.  It got us everywhere....with Grampy, milk was gone daily, so I had to make grocery runs constantly - ha ha.  We really were blessed with a great time with family and it really was awesome having Ethan home!!!  He is such a great kid and Jacob and Ethan are inseparable......stay tune for Part II of Xmas posting...coming soon to a web link near you!
