Our Snow Storm

We finally had a good snow storm. We were very blessed to have a lot of snow come in with out loosing our power. We were able to enjoy the fun and beauty of it, and then go to our nice warm home. I know that other places in our country did not have that luxury, and I could not imagine how awful that would have been. The kids LOVED the snow! Especially KaeLynn. This is my girl that usually is not a fan of playing outside. She hates to be cold, and is very sensitive to her surroundings, but she showed none of that these last few days! The first day when the snow started it was 16 degrees with a wind chill of 5 degrees. Cavan and I were so uncomfortable outside with the kids while they played, but they had a blast. Cavan and I finally wimped out and brought Daniel inside, but KaeLynn stayed in the background and played and played! Crazy girl! After 2 days of very fun snow, we had freezing rain and everything froze! Church was cancelled so we decided to walk down our street to a family in our ward and have a mini church get together. It was a very slow dangerous walk to the house. Everything was frozen! It was beautiful, but scary. Now we are back to our Oregon mild rainy weather and everything seems back to normal. It sure was a fun couple of days though!
