Cassie didn't want to be left out!

Sorry I am slow!!

I was slow to post our Christmas photos & videos. I posted a few below on their original dates, so make sure you scroll down to see them all if you haven’t visited in awhile!! Sorry!

Surprise Snow!!

Well, when the weathermen DON’T predict it, that’s when it comes!! I went into Molly’s room to put her down for a nap and when I came out 10 minutes later, the ground was white!! It snowed all through Molly’s nap and boy, did she wake up to a surprise! She had a great time playing in the snow for the first time. We ventured over to Grandma Jan’s house (Matt was stuck in terrible Portland traffic for HOURS. He finally had to ride the Max and the WES train to get to Tigard.) Here are some pictures and a video from our beautiful day. It is supposed to all melt tonight, but it was fun while it lasted!!

What is this stuff??!

I guess it is fun!!

What a fun day!! More on Picasa, click on this photo!!

Molly & Marimbas!!

While Ivan, a Rwandan student, was visiting my parents, we attended a practice by Kukuva, a marimba band that the principal of my school belongs to. Molly loved the music!! When the band stopped playing, Molly would sign “more” and say “Please, please!” She danced and sang along. They kindly let her play along with them and she had a blast!! Our little musician!! Here is Kukuva’s website if you are interested: http://kukuva.com/ They are fantastic!!

Do you Believe?

I heard from a couple of friends about the Polar Express train in Hood River. It sounded like a fun Christmas activity. I know Molly is kind of young for it this year, but I figured all the adults would have fun too. So yesterday Grammy, Grandpa, Grandma, Molly, Matt & I made our way to Hood River to ride the Polar Express!

Molly had a great time on her very first train ride. She also loved the hot chocolate & cookies! She was not too impressed with Santa though! Santa gave Molly a bell, which she loved to shake. We sang Christmas carols & read the book the Polar Express.  All in all it was a fun activity and I know Molly will love it even more in the future.

All Aboard the Polar Express!!

Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot Chocolate!!

Fun with Grandma!

Checking out the bells Santa gave her.
