We were lucky that my parents have a 4-wheel drive Volvo geared up with snow tires, so we didn't have to cancel all of our plans. We made it down to Eugene to see Molly and Mike, but had to leave early because of fears of freezing rain and snowy roads. We spent a lot of time with my family (which I loved), but sadly never got to see Brian's dad or many of our friends due to the crazy weather and terrible driving conditions.
Christmas itself was a blast - we were able to get all of my family up to my parents' treacherous driveway around midday, and had fun playing games, eating good food and playing in the snow. We even got to go sledding with the kids and build a gigantic snowman (it was around 8-10 feet tall I think, Todd had to get a ladder to get the head and shoulders on it), which was really fun. It was my first white Christmas!
Since I didn't want to bog down our blog with photos, I decided it would be better to put most of the pictures on our Picassa web album, so check that out if you're interested. Here are a few of the highlights below:
Our first night in Portland at Matt & Julia's Christmas party - were exhausted!
Early on in the trip - these were the days when we could still get the car up the hill
Brian and Wyatt having a snowball fight
The 8-foot tall snowman we built on Christmas Day - the picture doesn't do it justice, it was huge!

Those Volvos are sure great cars. Good thing your dad is such a cool guy and decided to get one.
I know, I have officially ended my crusade against Volvos - they're amazing!
