{Back from the Big City}

We are back from a quick trip to Tigard to visit friends! It was great to spend a few days with them! Its becoming part of our Thanksgiving tradition. We each spend Thanksgiving Day with our families and then we head down to their house on Friday morning! We arrived in the rain on Friday and we left in the rain this morning! It rained on us, the wind blew and it even snowed on us at one point as we drove home this afternoon! Us and a million other people that were traveling home from their holiday destinations too! I believe it when they say that this is the biggest travel weekend of the year!

We arrived there on Friday afternoon. The kids made up for lost time and played together all afternoon, Treena and I did a little scrapbooking, and the guys did some Christmas shopping on their own! Saturday was a little shopping for Treena and I and then the guys headed out to go check out a classic car shop. They return without any major purchases...thank goodness!;) After naps we headed out to the Bridgeport Village for some more shopping and a movie!

We wandered around the square before the movie. We met up with Santa at the North Pole! He was kind enough to take a picture with the kids by the tree! It was decorated beautifully for the holiday season!

Don't worry...we didn't lose John...he was just afraid of the decorations and wanted Dad to hold him! We were off to watch "Happy Feet" at the Cinema! The boys loved it...I think it had something to do with the candy and the popcorn!
