To Live and to Love

I have so much new to add. . . and so many pictures. Christmas was busy as always this year, and we had to change many plans due to the weather but we really enjoyed our WHITE Christmas. How often can you say that in Portland, Oregon?? We felt like we were at a resort or something all week and every morning when you woke up there was still snow outside. Makayla really enjoyed it. It has been hard for her to watch the snow melt. She was pretty bummed to look out this morning before church and see that the grass was showing.

We made good use of our snow days though. Michael was off for five days during the snow blast so we had a really good week doing family stuff and getting ready for Christmas. We of course did a lot of sledding but we also made some cookies. . . .

Kaden is quite the cookie monster. After a coulple days of the cookie "Tree's" sat on the table he couldn't handle it. . . he crawled up into the middle of the table and started eating them. I unfortunately didn't have my camera, but did get this last shot after he had been put in his highchair.
