Because it snowed so much last night I told Jessica that we could go out and make a snowman. When we got out there the snow was very powdery and we had a hard time making it. So it was a tiny snowman. We painted it to make up for it being so small.

Dog sitting

I am watching my sisters dogs for her this week. They love playing out side. I had to chase this one inside and put him in his cage so that all the snow on his feet could melt. He was so cold but didn't want to stop playing to come inside.

Thanksgiving

I had Thanksgiving at my house this year for the first time ever.

I think it went well.

Marcy was a big help.

She came up the day before and helped me cook.

Eric's family came up and it was so fun to see them.

And of course we had to play some Rock Bank.
Taylor was so cute dancing.

Oregon

We went to Oregon and loved it. I'm sure you can tell by how

many photo I put on.

We were driving down the coast and a deer was sitting on the

side of the road eating.

We pulled right up to him and he didn't run away.

It was very cool.

This was a light house we went to.

This was the deck from our hotel room.
You can see the beach.
We went to a elk refuge and there was hundreds.

Sea lions in Astoria. I love watching sea lions.

We hung out with Linda for a day in Portland. It was so good to see her.

It is on a tall mountain that you can over look the whole city.

A museum in Astoria that is about boats and stuff.

leaves

We spent the last Saturday cleaning up leaves.

but then we figured it would be funner to jump into them.
We played with leaves like they were sand.

Jessica would jump and then put it back into a pile over and over.

Jensen Historical Farm

We went to Jensen Historical Farm with the Baird family.

You went on a hay ride to get to the farm.
