White Christmas

Not only was it our first Christmas in our new home it was also our first white Christmas. The snow started the week before, so the boys got an extra week off of school to enjoy the snow. All three boys loved to go outside and play in the snow. Michael was so excited to build a snowman. We were lucky that Heath was able to work from home the first week. The roads were pretty bad with ice and Portland as we found out is a little slow to get the roads clear.

Michael taking Christopher for a sled ride.
Christopher loved the sled and here he got Andrew to pull him for a ride. Heath in back shoveling our driveway so we could get the van out.

Our snowman after our first snow. All the boys were so happy. Michael really worked hard on building him.

Snow and ice on our roof.

Snow was not going to slow down our outdoor fun. After playing in the front yard when daddy was working on clearing our driveway we had a whole backyard to still play in.
