Winter Wonderland!

The last 10 days I swear we have been living in Alaska not Portland! It has been a lot of fun but at the same time crazy and weird! The first video is from the beginning of the storm. It had snowed a few inches and then we got "frozen rain" Which is a sheet of ice that covers the snow.


There was a warmer day and things started to thaw-including the ice plugging the broken irrigation pipe in my back yard. Once that thawed, we ended up with almost 2 feet of water in our crawl space before I even knew what happened. That was a blast to fix:)


A few days ago we woke up to these pictures taken below. I measured in the center of our yard and we had 19 inches of snow! With all the new snow we found ourselves stranded in our house. In the pictures you can see how we were literally stranded because you couldn't even see our cars! and then the fun started! Our electricity went out and within 10 hours our house was below 50 degrees. Luckily our friends the Corrys came and rescued us and we spent the night over at their house until our electricity came back on.


Now things are starting to really thaw out again and we are looking forward to having a very very white Christmas! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

Christmas time is here!

Christmas season has officially started in the Adamson home. We went out and cut down a Christmas tree today. I love Christmas!

Crime scene

This is the scene of the crime. As you can see, there is an empty container of flour and flour all over the floor.
I think we found the culprit!
