I'll be where? for Christmas

So Lance and I had plans to take our family back to Oregon to celebrate Christmas with Grammy and Grandpa and Sara and Mary this year. Mother Nature had other ideas.  We knew all the flights had been cancelled arriving in Portland yesterday but we were still holding on to hope that we would prevail.  At 5 am when I checked the SW airlines site it said our  8:30 flight was "on time." At 8 am it was still on time.  At 8:30 it was delayed and at 9:30 it was cancelled. Im just glad we were on a cancelled flight and not on one that was rerouted to Oakland or Reno and stuck there for however long.  Anyway, we are very sad not to be with family in Oregon but have since heard that the power is out there and they are pretty much stuck in the house until this wintery storm warms up a bit. I wish you guys luck and hopefully your pantry is stocked! Good Luck with Christmas dinner.  Oh yeah, and to top things off, Mom, your Christmas present was confiscated by security at the airport.  
Here are a couple pics of what my parents and sisters are dealing with in Oregon.  We could've made one heck of a snowman.

My parents front deck and patio furniture. That tree is not supposed to be there.
My sis's car. Yeah she's not going anywhere for a while.
