Yesterday
morning I woke up hours before the rest of the family (thanks a lot
third-trimester-insomnia!) and saw the snow! Now, Eugene-ians are rain
experts, but snow? We only get that every few years so this is some
exciting stuff around these here parts. I
resisted the urge to wake everyone up, since I have a very strict never wake a
sleeping child rule (you never know when they will sleep again)! However,
the second I heard the tiniest of stirring from their bed, I ran in and flung
open the curtains. Frankie and Elena started cheering "It's
Christmas! It's Christmas!" It did
not take long before we were out the door and in the snow. Some of us lasted longer than others…

You may have noticed there are only two pictures of Ms. Elena in the snow. She much preferred looking at the snow from the window INSIDE our house while sipping on hot cocoa. Well, and someone had to keep her company, so I made the sacrifice.
Franklin has told several people the snow will stay until Christmas. I have not had the heart to tell him it will probably be gone with in a few days. Christmas miracles have happened before, right?
