Christmas 2008

Well this Christmas was absolutely beautiful! We had so much snow! To bad I was sick... I have never felt so sick in such a long time! Christmas eve we didn't do anything. I felt horrible and just wanted to lay inside. Cavan did a good deed though. This poor Fed Ex guy was being a good man delivering someone a package on Christmas eve but our neighborhood was just covered in very deep snow. Most vehicle's had problems driving through and the Fed Ex guy got stuck! He tried and tried but couldn't get out, so Cavan came to the rescue with our jeep and pulled him out.

It was the only excitement I got out of the day. Then Christmas morning we went over to Cavan's parents and opened gifts after we ate a delicious brunch. Then Christmas night, we went over to my mom and Harold's house and had an awesome Christmas cookie get together (thanks to Nanny) We ate, socialized, and played games it was really fun.

We still haven't had a chance to go to Astoria for Christmas but we will soon and I can't wait!

Change of plans due to our "Artic Blast"

So the plan for Christmas this year was to go to Astoria this weekend so we could have more time to spend with my family but the weather has not been cooperating. It seems that it would to dangerous to drive to the coast especially now that the news is saying another snow/ice storm will happen this weekend. We will pan to go maybe the weekend after Christmas. Although we are disappointed not to be going to the coast this weekend, we still are loving the snow. It is so much fun. Today Cavan pulled KaeLynn and I around the neighborhood with a sled. We tried to tie Lexy up to it and have her pull us around, but she was not having it! It is so beautiful here. It really brings the Christmas spirit even more with everything covered in white.

Brrr... It's COLD!!

It finally feels like it is winter! It couldn't be more beautiful outside with the snow and all the Christmas lights! I LOVE IT!! This last weekend we went to Lake Merwin with our friends Nicole and Chris. It snowed so much! We had so much fun. We built a snow slide and went down it on an inner tube. Then we built a jump and decided that it would be a good idea to jump over Cavan. We had a few casualties but nothing serious.

Lexy had a blast in the snow. When she first jumped in it, the snow went up to her chest, and then she was prancing around the snow like a little deer. It was quite cute.

She was very sad to leave.

Baby Carson is born!

My sister Amanda finally had her baby! After going through two false labors, Carson finally decided that he was ready to join us. He is so cute and looks just like her other son Triston. His name is Carson Joshua Miller. He is 6lbs 13oz and 2o inches long. It is going to be so fun having a little baby around that is so close to KaeLynn's age. They are going to have a blast together!

The best house on the block!

Cavan may not be a big fan about Christmas but he sure loves Christmas lights! Our house looks AWSOME! Cavan has even offer to help our neighbors put up their lights. It is so fun to get in the Christmas spirit! This year we plan on doing Christmas a little different.... We are going to go down to Astoria a little earlier this year instead of on Christmas Eve. This was my family can spend more time with KaeLynn and we won't have to rush back. Now with gas being so cheap ($1.77) it is a little more afforable to drive there. (Thank goodness!)
