A White Christmastime

We spent Christmas in Oregon this year with Grandma, Grandpa, Auntie and Uncle Tony (and Sophie too)! The night we arrived it was already a winter wonderland. So the next day we headed to the store to ensure Blake had all of his necessary gear for this wintry weather. He got new snow boots, a hat, mittens, a kid-sized snow shovel and of course a sled. He was ready for anything now!

On Christmas Eve, Blake and Daryl sprinkled the reindeer food he'd made at school all over the lawn. Then Blake strategically picked out all of the cookies he did not like and put those out for Santa. It was so funny to watch him choose the cookies...he needs to realize that Santa is on his side and he likes the good cookies too! Daryl and I both read " 'Twas the Night Before Christmas" to Blake before bed. This was a tradition that Pop Pop used to do to all of his children and grandchildren on Christmas Eve.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a Goodnight...

For the rest of the trip, we enjoyed family time together, went bowling, played with all of the kid's new toys, ate lots of good food and sweets and filled the house with love and happiness!

Does Oregon look cold?
