Happy Thanksgiving 2015

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving... it's always been one of our favorite holidays. We are so thankful for our family and friends!

This weekend we went to downtown Portland to see a musical.

We saw the Junie B. Jones musical by the Oregon Children's Theater. It was a terrific show!

Fun With Friends

The girls had Ries over for a playdate! They ate quesadillas, played games, and watched part of a Tinkerbell movie. 

The girls' friend Aero had a fabulous pajama party at her house to celebrate her 8th birthday. Here is Lauren swinging at the pinata.
