Weather Report?

Mom: So everyone in Oregon & Washington are predicted to get snow except us?!
I suppose California is sunny and warm.

How many inches does Prineville have? Or perhaps your power is out and you have created an igloo inthe backyard to keep warm?

Does anyone know their Christmas plans yet in terms of what days you are planning to be here. It would help with my activity and meal planning. Grandma Far Away already has the pool reserved for the 26th from 10 to 11:00, I think.

I was thinking of doing theme days like:
Asian Day: Take out Chinese food, pingpong tournament and sumo (pillow) wrestling.
Latin America Day: Soccer match, Tacos and ???

You get the idea. Maybe swimming could be Australia Day but I'm not having kangaroo.

I'm getting excited, but snow would really put me in the Christmas mood.

Greyson - say "Merry Christmas" to the Rudd clan from us.

The Porters will be down Thursday the 22nd. or possibly even Wednesday, but we'll see. I'll talk to Christian about the whole slumber party idea, but it sounds expensive?? We have a severe storm warning from midnight until 4a.m. so i'll have to set my alarm to enjoy the action in the middle of the night. Yep, a cup of hot chocolate, snow falling, christmas tree lit...doesn't get any better at 2a.m. I wonder if Tim will get up with me. Hot chocolate tastes better when someone else makes it for you.

Got most of my shopping done. This weekend if the roads clear, I'm making a full sweep, Costco, Best Buy, Target, all the way to shopping exhaustion if necessary to finish. I'm sure Tucker is on Santa's naughty list for in -the -house ball throwing and sneaking to school without wearing socks. I have to check to see if he's wearing underwear some days. He prefers sweats, no top, and bare feet. Little heathen.

Greta got a bath and is so shiny and wild. She leans on us...is that a big dog thing or do we not feel the little dogs?

All else is going well. India and I practiced with Christian's traveling Bball team, and she's starting to like the game. I'm in horrible cardio shape, but I'm toned, and the weight lifting allows more calories for say, fudge, peanut brittle, dipped pretzels and other holiday treats. My goal is to gain less than 5 pounds while still lifting. I'm bringing my sweats and stretch type jeans for the last few days of our visit.

I was getting snow sticking at home but no snow here at work where it is about 400' lower. The Porters will have to post some pictures.
