Christmas in Oregon

We were all so excited to head out to Oregon this year for Christmas. Not only were we going to be with Ross's family who we love, but we'd be getting away from all of the bad snowy weather. Haha boy were we wrong!! Luckily the snow subsided enough so that we could be picked up from the airport and not have to stay the night in a hotel. The next day or so it started to snow...and snow, and snow! It pretty much snowed that whole first week. And since we were in OR, they aren't ready or equipped to take care of it. So we were all trapped in the house, and Paula (Ross's sister) and her family missed their flight, and to top it all off, the satellite went out. Ross and Paul actually decided that the satellite was too important and ventured out on the roof, yes I know...idiots, on the snow and ice and all. Luckily they didn't get hurt. But all of the kids, and pretty much all of the parents loved it! No one lives were they get snow at all, except for us...so I was just glad Ross was there to go out with Braden. I'm sure all get my fill of it here in MO. Oh yea church also got canceled...which is a rarity to say the least.

It really was beautiful though

Check out how deep it was...and that wasn't the end of it either!

Yum!

Ross had a beard he started on the trip then trimmed it to a nice chin-strap...

then a goatee...

then finally a moustache....

Ross, Adam and Mike took Braden and the rest of the cousins to the public pool

This is the bed Braden slept on in our room. I walked in one night and this is how he fell asleep! He moves so much when he sleeps, he fell off a couple of times and ends up in some funny positions.

One day Ross, Adam, and Mike took off and went skiing

New Years Eve

Despite the snow we had such a blast! We all hung out, went shopping, and most of all I was so glad for Braden. He absolutely LOVES his cousins and they had so much fun together!
