okay, this is my second attempt to get our Family photo for our Christmas card. As most of you moms know it is no small task to get everyone coordinated, happy and hair done!! Well I managed to get the kids alright but by the time Steven was back the sun had gone down just enough that the lighting was not good, even with the flash. I was so disappointed! All that work twice and nothing! I really wanted to capture all of our snow... you can see it behind Cole... that is really how deep it is! It is just below Presley's shoulder. It is so awesome! Well it looks like we will have to try again for a family picture at Disneyland.
Cole and Steven had shoveled a path way to get to the vehicles, this is a good picture of just how much snow we have!
The girls sledding down the front yard into the street!
Here we are out at Gresham station, we dropped off our neighbors down by the public transit so they could get to the airport. An hour later they called us back and said the buses were canceled now too and so we went back and picked them up.
A plow had gone through and this is the pile it left behind! pretty amazing huh!
This was on Sunday and since then we have accumulated several more inches of snow.We got a few more again today and are expecting up to 8" more tomorrow.

The City of Gresham has declared a state of emergency, so the national guard has come in and the fire, emergency and police are getting around in chained up hummers. This afternoon several teens were climbing on top of the tall snow drifts and then right on to the roof of the elementary school by our house. So I called the non-emergency line and they came out in a hummer. It was so cool to see it cruise around in the snow all around the school!

Wow you guys look like you are living in Alaska. That's incredible. How on earth are you Arizona blooded people doing it there? I'd be dying! But I gotta say I'm so jealous I've never had a white Christmas. Actually I've never had much of a white anything before.
Your family picture is so good of you all. Your family is just darling. I was so sad to hear that I didn't get to see you when you were here. I know that when you get here it must be just crazy trying to see everyone and especially at the holidays. I'm so glad that you got to see and be with all of your extended family too but I'm sorry you missed the birth of your new little niece!
Well I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!
Love, JoLynn
Love all the snow, we're not getting that much! Looks like fun! I love the family pic, a bunch of beautiful girls!!
