"Christmas" in Portland

We braved the roads to go to Portland to see Ryan's parents and brothers for what we planned to be a weekend, but what turned out to be 5 days. They live in the west hills of Portland where the homes are literally on stilts and the streets are very steep. We all had a little cabin fever, but it was fun relaxing and spending time with one another. I just got a little concerned because I knew that Santa was coming to our house. On the 23rd I convinced Ryan to attempt going down and barely made it. (We were down to 1 diaper for Sadie and I was not looking forward to improptu potty training.) Even though we didn't spent the actual day of Christmas there, the kids definately had a Christmas there. They got so many fun toys that they didn't get bored at all being in the house for 5 days straight. Connor's favorites were his new Star Wars ships and discovering Ryan's old ships and figures. Sadie LOVES her dollhouse and her American Girl Bitty Baby. It really pays to be the first grand kids. Thanks so much Grandma and Grandpa Johnson.
