holy snow!








it has been snowing in portland for days! school was cancelled all week long and the boys have been loving the mix of snow, cartoons and hot cocoa. the big storm is on the way and we are hoping we can make it down to nona and papa's on the 24th for our christmas eve celebration with the entire west coast family.

ryder loves santa and is determined to convince him that he is nice (and not the dreaded naughty). and sammy is just not sure of the man in the red suit.

happy halloween 2008!







we love candy! we had the best week and the boys love celebrating halloween. we hit lots of parties and have tons of candy. mak was a ninja, ryder was spiderman and sammy was a dalmation (which without the hat was easily confused for a cow). we went trick or treating at denise's house with aidan and liam. the boys have declared this a very delicious holiday.
