We got a little cabin fever from being cooped up all weekend, so we decided to venture out into the snow.
A view down the street where we live!
Addison's first time in the snow! He was not too happy with us! 
Adam and I at Gabriel Park by our house. There was people sledding, snowboarding, skiing, snowshoeing and riding snowmobiles at the park!
Church was canceled on Sunday because of all the snow! Up were Adam and I live we got five inches of snow, and there is lots more in the forecast. It is a very rare for Portland to get this much snow, maybe once every 4 or 5 years. We are expected to get snow showers for the next 2 weeks! That never happens! The scary thing about all this snow is the ice that follows. People forget how to drive and go all sorts of crazy! I am going to be working at home for the next few days! That way I don't to brave it out in the crazy weather.
I know I am a little slow, but better late then never! Adam and I spent Thanksgiving with my family in Medford! It was nice to see my family twice in 2 months! The drive down to Medford and back was made o, so pleasant by or little rascally cat Addison. He decided that he was going to throw a big fit for hours on end in the car! I seriously thought I was going to lose it! Having a cat has really prepared me for parent hood! Addisons latest trick is crying out side our door every morning at 5am until someone gets up and plays with him. Adam usually trys to snuggle him for a minute then Addison sneaks over to my feet and commencing attacking! I then get ticked and throw him out of the room! It is a vicious cycle!
I am so excited to finally go on vacation this year. After a stressful year for both Adam and I we are heading off after Christmas to Cancun, Mexico. We are going with the coolest people ever, Sam and Jessica Cottam. I can’t wait to relax in the sunshine, go explore ancient Mayan ruins and just have fun. Now that we actually purchased the plane tickets I can hardly wait for the relaxing to begin.
It was a blind taste test of 10 different root beers. Each root beer was poured into a Dixie cup with a letter on it, that corresponded to the brand of root beer. We had everything from cheap store brands to gourmet and organic. Once all the root beer was tested and ranked we brought out the bottles and cans to see what everyone's real favorite was. The results were actually quite surprising. The most expensive organic brands scored the lowest! And the favorite was Big K root beer, a Fred Meyers store brand! Here was our top picks. Naomi - Big K, Gabe - A&W, Sariah - Henry Weinhards, Todd - Henry Weinhards, Adam - Bargs, Mom - Mug, Dad - Big K and Audrey - Henry Weinhards.
My Dad loves being a Grandpa although he goes by Poppy, grandpa just sounds too old.

I Spent some time this last weekend with my family down in Medford. My sister Sariah and her family were up visiting from Florida, and we got to catch up a little. My nephew Shawn has grown so much in the last 2 years since I have seen him, and he just keeps getting cuter!
