'It'll maybe snow once a year and even then the snow melts within a day or 2.' How many times did I hear that? LOTS! It's now been snowing for more than 8 days. There is very little gravel, salt, or snow plows. The snow isn't melting and the city has been shut down since the first snow. It's been quite an experience. BUT, we have had some fun! Soren loves to point out snow in all of his books now. He's not a big fan of the cold, but we did go sledding around the block yesterday morning (Dec. 19th) and watched neighbors build a snowman. My friend, and Soren's babysitter, Kristen and I went snowshoeing through a big park (Laurelhurst) on the eve of the big storm (11+ inches - a lot for Portland!) and hiked through Peacock Lane, which is a few blocks of homes that all light up their houses with Christmas lights. We've also had playdates, dinners with friends, and played cards. I guess it hasn't been too bad!
