Sunday night it started snowing and man it was cold! Jennine and I went out for a few minutes but that's all we could handle. Monday the roads were bad and I stayed home from work. Jennine and Lex could not make it back to Portland so we got to play in the snow. Lex and I had a fun walk down by the river and she really enjoyed throwing the snow! Now we just have to wait and see what the weather has in store for us now! Lexi's birthday is on Thursday and we have a party planned for Saturday in Portland. We're just praying the weather will be good and we can make it up there to celebrate. Happy Early birthday Lex! You are Noni's favorite 4 year old now!!! 
On Sunday we went to Aunt Candy and Uncle Clint's house for an early Christmas celebration. We ate good food, enjoyed our family, and played Wii fit! I ended up a ski jump professional and Jennine took the top prize as being a yoga master! The rest of the family turned out to be unbalanced (at least according to the Wii fit.) Thanks Aunt Candy for opening your house, we had a great time and Lex loves her Fancy Nancy book! 
It's Christmas time! The tree is decorated and my parents had their annual Christmas party. The party was a lot of fun and we were able to visit with family and friends. The food is always my favorite part (I try not to eat much of it but I love to make, decorate, and arrange the Christmas goodies!) I wish you all a blessed Christmas and a happy New Year! 
The day after Thanksgiving we went in search for the perfect tree! After looking at many lots my dad called in for reinforcements. Lex, mom, and I joined him and we headed out to a local tree farm. Lex had a great time running through the trees and we were able to find the "right" tree. Now it's time to decorate! 
We had a lovely Thanksgiving and hope that you did as well! We went around the room and shared what we were thankful for and the number one thing was family. As you can tell from some of our pictures our thanksgiving was filled with many different things; Tofurky, a Pirate, lots of food, family fun, and of course a gingerbread house. 
Lex is a little model! The three of us went to a park in Portland with some Christmas lights in search of the perfect Christmas picture for Jennine and Lex. I included some of the pics we took. We had a good time but were frozen by the end of the evening. It has seriously gotten cold in Oregon! Lex loves taking pictures and being the object of silly photos. We taught he to take abstract pictures and she has some super silly ideas.
