We had a rare long snow weekend and enjoyed the surprise (even if other fun plans did get cancelled). Our last big snow storm in Portland was five years ago when I was pregnant with Makenna. Before that was ten years ago when Miel and us live a block from each other in NW. This snow was super fluffy and it took three days until I could even pack a snow ball.
Here's the weekend in captions:

| Snow...a foreign substance for these rain-loving Oregonians! |
 |
| We finally had a chance to try our Grandpa Wally's Silverstreak sled that he used as a boy. Kieran was surprised: "I can't believe this old sled is beating all the new ones! |
 |
| Perfect size for sharing a sled ride together :-) :-) |
 |
| Teagan wasn't ready to glide down the hill, but she did enjoy the view...no fussing for this little snow bunny! |
 |
| Special snow playdate with her preK BFF, Audrey KS...they even went to play dress afterward. |
 |
| Staying warm by snuggling...it didn't take too long before Makenna feet got cold, but she was a good sport. |
 |
| Checking out the backyard...can't believe Teagan was born here just five months ago! |
 |
| My snow angel. |
 |
| Our 1904 house fared pretty well, we only lost one shingle. |
 |
| The Silver Streak was perfect for towing...we headed up to New Seasons for some chili fixings. |
 |
| Teagan snoozed in her Zooper. Kevin tested out his snowshoes. Kieran took turns pulling Makenna. |
 |
| The enthusiasm didn't wane until after our second sledding day, once Makenna got too cold she was ready to head home for some hot cocoa. She must have repeated "I don't EVER want to go out in the snow again!" a dozen times...that is until she was out for a few more hours today. |
