What a wild week! The news kept reporting an "Artic Blast" and I was getting so tired of hearing about it! We were just having little snow flurries, no big deal. They canceled our stake Christmas Devotional, and the kids didn't have school on Wednesday. I thought everyone was overreacting!
On Thursday I was able to go to Brooklyn's school and help with her Winterfest.
Then Brooklyn's school was canceled on Friday. Olivia's preschool was not. So, since Olivia goes to pm preschool we had time to head over to the neighborhood park and go tubing. I thought we had better take advantage of the snow because it would probably be gone the next day. And of course afterward we enjoyed a nice cup of hot chocolate with peppermint icecream!
After tubing Casey met me at Olivia's school to see her Christmas presentation. She was so excited to be the Shepherd girl. She got to wear the "rainbow" hat. She looked so cute.
Friday we celebrated Callie's Birthday at the restaurant Beaches. It was so fun! The snow was falling and the Christmas boats were going by on the Columbia river.
Saturday night there was freezing rain, which put a layer of ice on top of the snow. Brooklyn started picking it up so that she could get to the snow to build a snowman.
Saturday it snowed even more and so the whole family went tubing. It is so much more fun when you don't have to drive an hour just to get to the snow!

Sunday church was canceled. So we worked on our annual Christmas lip sync video over at my parents.
Today is Monday and it is continuing to snow. Casey went in to work anyway and took the suburban, so I am home bound...Then his office called and said they are closing today. So he tried to catch a bus home and they are running an hour late. He's been standing outside for an hour waiting. I called my parents to go get him, so now he's on his way home.
So, I was wrong. This really is an "Artic Blast"! Wild fun!

Gotta love snow! We got a foot here today and couldn't go to my parents 15 miles away it was so bad. Boo.
That looks like a ton of fun. The girls look so cute in their coats. I really want to go tubing but haven't felt well enough yet. Maybe before it's gone. I don't feel to rushed like you probably do. That's alot of snow you guys got. I don't think there's been that much for forever.
I love the girls jumping on the trampoline

Your house looks so cute covered in snow. I am sad that this probably won't happen again for another 40 years. Your kids look adorable in all the photos!
