Here's our Christmas story:
We got up "early" to open gifts and there was a very light dusting of snow. A white Christmas doesn't happen in Portland, so being in Oakridge we had a better chance. Gabe's Christmas wish came true. I think I had him pretty fooled into thinking he wasn't getting a Wii. "They are just too hard to get your hands on." He was thrilled!
After watching part of A Christmas Story, took off to drive up to my parent's house. About Salem the snow started. We couldn't believe it! Snow on Christmas! Of course, none of it was really sticking. After all, it was 34 degrees...but it was fun anyway. It did slow us down just a little bit.
We got to my parents and started opening gifts. Becky couldn't wait any longer! We had a big meal and played. Gabe hooked up the Wii, and even my dad gave bowling a try. Gabe and Jory had a great time playing with the RC Helicopter we got Jory for Christmas. Then we played the longest game of Battle of the Sexes possible. Seriously, I think we were playing for an hour and a half! At that point it was getting late and we needed to get home. Gabe had to go to work today. (Although, I called him an hour ago and he and Ross are playing with the Wii on the projector at work. Apparently, a lot of work needs to get done today!) We came home, gave Jupiter some love, opened our stockings and went to bed.
It was a great day filled with time spent with our family.
Happy Holidays!
