If you are reading this you really should read the post below first... it tells all about the beginning of our snow adventure - this is day #2. We drove home from our friends' house to find our drivway piled with snow so I ran in and put Zachary down for a nap while Paul shoveled it all out. This photo make is look like I did some work, but I didn't... I really put it on here so you can see how much snow is on top of the trash can!

Snow Fun
Slumber-Party
On Thursday the weathermen predicted over 20 inches of snow between Friday night and Saturday night... and amazingly enough, they were right! Our good friends Kim and Josh thought it would be fun to get snowed in together so they invited us over to their house. We showed up before there was too much snow Saturday morning and ended up spending the night because the prospect of going home and shoveling over 20 inches of snow out of our driveway did not sound very fun!
I felt right at home at their place because the whole day pretty much revolved around food! :) Paul and I made lunch - chili and cornbread - a perfect snowy day meal!
And.... back to the food! :) When the kids were taking their afternoon naps (which miraculously happened to coinside) Kim made the yummiest (and largest) mugs of hot chocolate EVER! It had real whipping cream with crushed up heath bar on top - YUM!!! We drank it while playing a round of apples to apples... Thanks Josh for playing (and even having fun I think) even though games aren't really your favorite things!
He even let us pull him on a "sled" (otherwise known as a laundry basket)!

Our Christmas Tree
Peek-a-Boo
Zachary has finally started thinking the game of Peek-a-Boo is funny. I figured it out because he is also at that age where he gets quite upset if he can't see me when he wants to.... soooo one of the times he was crying I peeked out over the couch and he thought it was quite funny. He is a little distracted in this video though because he also thinks that daddy and the video camera look interesting. All in all though, I think he looks pretty darn cute in this video!

SNOW!!!
The weathermen predicted that it would snow last Saturday, but like any good Oregonian, I have no faith in the weathermen so I didn't believe them! But to our surprise, when we woke up Saturday there was snow falling from the sky! It was pretty wet at that point so I decided to go running in it - it was cold... but BEAUTIFUL! And as the day went on it just kept on snowing and snowing and snowing! There must have been at least 4 inches by that evening! (Which is a lot coming from California!!!)

Our Christmas Tree
I'll have a bunch of Thanksgiving pictures to post later, but since Paul's family takes so many pictures we have stopped taking our camera with us when we go to visit them. We just get their pictures later! :) So in the mean time, even though the posts will be out of order, I thought I would put these pictures up.
Zachary was a very big help in holding up the tree after daddy cut it down! :)

Yeah! We found our tree! I tried to convince Paul that in true Christmas Tree cutting fasion we needed to argue more about what tree to get, but in the end, we both found and agreed on a tree quite quickly!
And last, but really first, here we are all excited to be at the Christmas Tree farm. This is one tradition I missed a ton while we lived in LA!
Ok, so these are out of order, but it is a pain to change them so, oh well! :) Here is our tree after it was all cut down. It doesn't look all that tall with Paul carrying it, but I think it is the tallest tree I've ever cut down. It looks cool with our high ceilings - I'll have to put up a finished picture later. I had fun decorating it last night!
