Snow Days!

Growing up in Eastern Oregon I have had one snow day that I can remember... I have been in Knappa for about five months now and we have had four snow days this week!!! You would think it would be the opposite..who knew?!? I never thought I would have a white Christmas on the coast...but keep your fingers crossed cause it just might happen =) I have had basically the whole week off and been able to bake cookies, wrap presents and get our house cleaned! It has been fun to have a home for the holidays. Kevin and I will be here for Christmas with his family and then I will leave for home the day after Christmas to go McCall with my family! I can't wait!!! I will miss being home for Christmas but I am grateful I get to spend it with Kevin and his family.

Our backyard...it is so beautiful here with all the trees covered in snow!

My double batch of sugar cookies waiting to be frosted for a cookie exchange!

Our first Christmas Tree...and my first real tree! Kev cut it down for me and we got to decorate it together!


Happy Holidays to everyone...we are truly blessed with amazing famlies and friends!

Thanksgiving!

After getting settled in our house we got to host the Root Family Thanksgiving...which I am sure many of you know from Mom's Christmas card (which was mailed prior to Thanksgiving!). We had so much fun and were so grateful my family was able to come down. Kevin was able to get off the boat and be here which was a blessing =) Even tho it was a FULL house we loved having everyone here. We got some great news...Skye and Becca are expecting baby number two! They are due April with another little boy! We had a great weekend and ended it with Knappa (Kevin's old High School) winning the 2A State Football Championship and our family getting to go to the Portland Zoo lights together!
