Happy Hanukkah!

Tonight is the 5th night of Hanukkah, but we started things off early by driving to Portland for Auntie Debbie's annual Hanukkah bash, which she hosted before Grandma Linda left for Thailand. As luck would have it, the first big snow storm of the year got upgraded to a blizzard and avalanche warning and hit that weekend as well, so it was a long drive over Mt. Hood.

In Bend, we have been getting a ton of snow as well. Our deck is covered with over a foot of the white stuff, and Otis loves to run through it in the yard and alley!
