As I type, we are in the middle of receiving Snow Storm Orion near the base of Mt. Hood in Boring, Oregon! The forecast is for another wave of snow this afternoon. Schools are closed along with some public transport. I know some of my Midwest and Northeast family and friends think we are crazy to be so excited and distracted with such an event, but it is a rarity down here in the valley...and at the moment it is beautiful! I am off to make some hot chocolate almond milk and knit :)
Hoping you are having a happy day, too, whether your weather is hot or cold!

Fun photos of your family, Gracie!! Kristi also took our two little guys out for some snow fun. I just posted, too. I think some hot cocoa is in order around our farmhouse! And I'm going to crochet, too. See you in the pool when the snow melts! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteMe three! I just put Piper down for her nap, made a cup of hot chocolate and brought out my crocheting. Great minds think alike. Apparently we got four inches of snow at home last night too. More today and for the next four days. I guess coming to Portland to avoid the snow wasn't the best idea. :-). It is interesting to see the mass panic over a few inches of snow. We don't usually cancel school at home until there are at least 10-12 inches of snow-and not always then either. Your pictures are just too precious Gracie. The whole family looks as though they are having a wonderful time.

We get similarly excited when it snows! It hasn't snowed at all this year in southern England - instead we are awash. We are fine, but parts of the country are flooded out. It has been a strange weather year all over!
ReplyDeleteI see three little girls having the time of their life, Mom and Dad look pretty happy too. Enjoy your snow day Gracie.

Hello Gracie I so love your photos - what fun. I am longing for some snow. I know it can be very tiresome etc but for a while at least it is beautiful and magical and part of nature. Take care. Hugs Anne x

How wonderful to see your happy family in the snow, Gracie, and it brings back happy memories of Scotland for me - sooooooo long ago but such wonderful times! Thank you so much, your pics are delightful!

Looks amazing, the kids look to be having a fabulous time!
ReplyDeleteStay warm and safe, Helenxx
Lovely photos of your grandchildren enjoying their ride :) we get snow only in Himalayan regions in India. I have been there with my family on vacation when my daughter was 2 years old. It was good for two days and after that we said; ' its enough now, lets go back to sunny place ' :)
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. Glad it brings you JOY! I call it white rain. What is the a frame in the background of the pictures…a shed?
ReplyDeleteLOVE it! There's nothing like some beautiful white snow to bring the child out in all of us :)
ReplyDeleteStay safe!
Blessings,
Aimee
Sounds like a lovely thing to do on a snowy day.
ReplyDeleteWow how lovely to see the snow. Your family look as if they are enjoyed it! Hope you stay warm and safe. Sarah x
ReplyDeleteThat's really pretty and I'm glad the kids got to enjoy the snow. Children love snow, it seems. Me, not so much. Stay safe and warm.
ReplyDeleteI so enjoyed seeing these pictures of your snowy day, Gracie! It is such a fun family time, especially with little ones who just love to play out in it! Enjoy your hot chocolate, keep cosy and enjoy your knitting....perfect for a snow day indoors!

What lovely snowy photos! We haven't had any snow yet this winter (just a LOT of rain) so it's really nice to see you all out in the snow, enjoying it. I hope we get some soon. x
ReplyDeleteThis snow day sure looks like fun. I sure hope that the new storm didn't bring too much of a mess. Best wishes, Tammy
ReplyDeleteI totally understand the excitement and do envy you that snow ... I love the stuff but, as Gillian says, all we're getting in the UK is rain. The girls look to be having a fabulous time :)
ReplyDeleteAlmond milk hot chocolate sounds luscious ... do you have a particular recipe?
Hello Gracie, It looks like you all was having a super fun time in the snow.. I hope your storm was not to awful.. I hope you had a great cuddle up drinking up chocolate and knitting. Hugs Judy
ReplyDeleteThe little ones are certainly having fun and the snow looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe photos are great. I love the one of the children in their sleds...how cute. We just had a big winter storm here as well. A foot of snow is a little much for me. Bring on spring!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like my neck of the woods! :)
ReplyDeleteAww you have snow! Please send some, all we have is rain and it's really boring :( x
