The snow ended up hitting Portland pretty hard in December, so school was cancelled the week before Christmas break started. Some snowy days, some icey days and even some dry days. While it killed the restaurant, the kids had a blast with the snow. The kids could be found playing at all times of the day outside. One night we even did some sledding at 10pm with the Jarvis family after Dustin got home from work. We wanted some family time and it was great.
Kasey Jarvis (our neighbor, best friend and second dad to the kids) built these great snow forts for himself, I mean for the kids, to have snowball fights.
Jonah, Jack and the rest of the neighborhood boys could be found at any given time playing in them until they finally melted.
Here is some footage of the fun the kids had in the snow.
