Christmas Day

We had a great Christmas day.  We stayed around the house and let the kids play with their new toys.
Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve

We had a great time with family and friends on Christmas Eve.  My cousin Andrew and his family were down. My brother and his new family.  My aunt and Uncle, Mother and father in law, my parents and Sandy.
This made for a very full crazy house but it was fun!

Christmas on Mars

We visited our home town of GP this last week.  We spent some time with my Grandparents and got together with Steve's sister for a gift exchange. We ended the trip with a visit to the Bear Hotel, very awesome!

Zoo Lights!

We went to see the Zoo lights for the first time at the Portland Zoo.  We were going to go on Saturday but Conor was sick.  We went Sunday afternoon, getting there right as the Zoo lights were turned on.  Parking was a nightmare, we had one lady back up and block us from getting a spot.  Steve ended up dropping us off and parking in another parking lot that had a bus shuttle to the Zoo.  The kids really wanted to do the train, so we waited in line for an hour and half to ride a fifteen minute ride around the Zoo.  The lights were very beautiful and just seeing their excitement made it worth the difficulties.  Here's some pictures from the night.
