Winter Break Fun

Click here from a few photos taken during the kids' Winter Break to date that include various holiday festivities and outings. 

Click here for a few photos from our late November trip to Lee Farms to find our xmas tree. Our search took place on one of the rare dry days we've had between Thanksgiving and Christmas. 

Portland is super soggy, but there's an abundance of fresh snow on Mt. Hood! 

Happy Holidays!

 Best wishes for the holiday season!

Xmas Parade & Tree Lighting

Click here for photos from this morning's Macy's Portland Christmas Parade and this evening's annual Tree Lighting in Pioneer Square.  The Thanksgiving turkey is (almost) gone, the stockings are hung, and tomorrow we're off to the tree farm.

Happy Birthday...

Happy Birthday, Grandpa Carl!

Happily Ever Hartley

This past weekend, we celebrated with our good friends the Hartleys as Tyler Hartley & Elise Gibson tied the knot in Springfield, Missouri. Congratulations Tyler & Elise, and thank you Tim, Di and Sarah for a great weekend! Click here for photos. 

We took an extra day to explore Kansas City before returning to Portland, which include a visit to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. 

Apple Pressing Party

It was a great day for cider-making with our friends the Kortenhofs, who hosted their annual apple-pressing party on Saturday. Click here for a few photos.  We also helped Drew do some bike-shopping this weekend. Here he is with his new fixie.
