Snow Storm Round 2...or 5...I can't keep track!

Things here in the beautiful Northwest are getting a bit crazy in regards to the weather. I mean...crazier! After Saturday's record breaking wind/snow storm, today we woke up to 4 more inches of snow and its still coming down. Unfortunately, its quite windy as well so that means no playtime for Sadie yet. Hopefully it will calm down soon!

Christmas Storm 2008

Last night was one of the most amazing, terrifying, nights I have had in a long time...maybe ever. The "BIG" storm that everyone was predicting really took hold of Snoqualmie and the surrounding foothills with winds gusting upwards of 70-90mph throughout the night and whiteout conditions like I've never seen. Cooper, Sadie and I had a "camp out" on the floor downstairs with Papa and Sydney sleeping on the couch because it was just too loud upstairs...but unfortunately, there wasn't much sleeping! I really do think that last night was bigger and badder then the windstorm we endured 2 years ago. Although thankfully, we only lost our power throughout the night and not for 6 days! As of right now, 9:30am, its still blowing pretty hard outside but nothing like last night. Believe it or not, we are still supposed to get 4 more inches of snow today. I hope Daddy is able to make it home from Vegas!!

Sadie's Holiday Concert (sort of)

Well, there was one drawback to the beautiful snow that fell today. Since school was obviously cancelled, so was Sadie's very first Holiday Concert that was schedule for tonight. I think I was a little more bummed out then Sadie was and was really looking forward to seeing and hearing her sing. So, we decided to put our own concert on here at home with a stage, microphone and her pretty dress. She sang two songs, one about Thanksgiving and one from Charlie Brown's Christmas. She had memorized all the words and did a fantastic job. When she was all done, she wanted to her Daddy to get up and sing to...which was really funny!

Let it snow...let it snow...let it snow!

Finally, the snow that the news had been predicting for 2 days arrived last night and as of this afternoon, we have close to 8 inches. Its absolutely beautiful! Sadie, of course, loved playing in it but Cooper wasn't so sure at first. Being that this was his very first time in the snow, he was a little hesitant. But that didn't last long! Before we knew it, he was laughing and giggling right along with Sadie.

Christmas Breakfast 2008

Uncle Christopher and Auntie Lissa invited us all to a Christmas breakfast this morning for the Lynnwood Rotary. We got to see Sophia, Will, Stella and Clara which is always fun. The girls looked beautiful in their Christmas dresses and had so much fun together...until the Grinch showed up. He was a little scary...even to the adults. I didn't know the Grinch had a beard?

My little Ladies Man

As all of you know, Eric and Tracy are getting married in January and all four of the Jensens are in the wedding. Cooper is wearing a tux just like his Daddy and it arrived in the mail today. I wanted to send a couple pictures to Eric and Tracy so they could see exactly what we ordered so I subjected Cooper to a quick fashion show this morning. I'm not bias or anything but Cooper look ADORABLE! He's definitely my little ladies man!

Big Pimpin!

HEY LADIES!

It even comes with Jacket! Now I can be EXACTLY like Daddy!
