We had a happy Thanksgiving week. We spent a lot of time with my family. My mom, my younger sister and her boyfriend flew into Portland to hang out with us and my two older sisters who live in Portland...and their families.
Some stuff we did:
Chinese Garden:
 |
| love, love, love the stonework in the garden |
 |
| Toby and Grandma |
 |
| it was cold, cold, cold, cold, cold. Record cold. |
 |
| The Flash will save us all! |
Oregon Museum of Science and Industry:
We had lots of fun with this crazy exhibit:
Brent?
Joshua
Oh that's just silly...I've never sat around with my family laughing for so long
That one on the left was a little difficult to deliver.
Toby
Auntie Heather
Grandma
Movies:
I dressed Ollie in his Christmas outfit...which also (unknowingly) happened to be the day of the BYU, University of Utah game. I guess Ollie was their good luck baby, eh?
But the adults went to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, part 1 (which I LOVED!), and Uncle Nate took the kids to see Megamind. (Thanks Uncle Nate!) I ended up taking Ollie with me and he did just fine. He never made a peep (hard to do that when you're eating :-).
Multnomah Falls:
 |
Carlos and Heather
It gets dark really early around here these days...so I did my best dusk photography
(without the flash, because the flash lit up every water droplet in the air).
Hanging out:
We opened some Christmas gifts...since we won't all be together at Christmas time
(Heather and Carlos are going to Cancun to meet his family!)
OH JOY! Toby got his Rex.
Joshua LOVES books!

| Nice! |
Carlos' hat and Heather's shirt
Someone likes the exersaucer SO much, he took a nap there!
It was a great time!

Oh man, that is one cute baby you've got there! Can't wait to see him and squish his cheeks and watch he and Sadie jibber jabber to each other. I'm bummed we missed going to the Chinese Garden and to OMSI. Oh well, next time, right!
Love your pictures! It's fun to see a happy family like yours... Merry Christmas!
