Snowy Days in Oregon

Hi Friends and Family,
Well Arctic Blast 08 came and went. Portland got a record 18.9 inches of snow. Eric and I chained up the Element, re-named it the Black Cat and made our way through the city without any problems, rescuing family along the way. :) For Christmas, Ashlie's mom and dad came over for brunch and then we all headed over to Mike and Yvonne's and spent time with Eric's family. Our nephew is huge, and so much fun to play with. Naya has become such a little lady and she cracks us up with her dancing and singing. For New Years we had an impromptu get together with a few friends and brought the New Year in with Champagne and a Guitar Hero rock off. Eric and I are looking forward to a year full of spending time with friends and family and enjoying as many adventures as possible. We hope you had a wonderful Holiday season and we wish you the most wonderful 2009.

Well there you go...some photos from Christmas and Arctic Blast. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods. Oh and good news, there is no more snow here, we are back to the lovely rain. And as always, our guest room is open if anyone wants to come hang out in Oregon.

Love you all!
