We love the holidays. We went and got our Christmas tree Wednesday and put out our Christmas decorations. We also put together a gingerbread house and let Lucy decorate her very own gingerbread man. So much fun!

November 2009

We had a great November, starting with a fun trip to Atlanta for my dear friend Tina's wedding. Tina was one of my best friends in dental school and we both did our residencies in Connecticut. Chris, Lucy and I had lots of fun in Atlanta seeing a few old friends. We had never been to an Indian wedding before and it was a blast! Lots of great music, food and dancing. We loved it! There are a couple pictures below from Tina's wedding. We also had a great end of the month with my sister and her girls coming up for Thanksgiving, my mom and stepdad came up, and Chris' stepdad Jim visited us as well. We went to Zoo Lights at the Oregon Zoo the night before Thanksgiving which was amazing! Over a million lights...Lucy loved it.

Halloween Festivities

We had a great fall, and Lucy had many opportunities to wear her lady bug costume. We went to a fun playgroup party at Munchkin Playland and we took another trip to the Roloff Farm this year with Dianna and Julia. (In case you're not sure who the Roloffs are...they are on the TLC show "Little People, Big World" and they live outside of Portland and have a big pumpkin farm.) We're big fans of the show and think their pumpkin patch is lots of fun. This year we saw the twins, Zack and Jeremy, who were giving tours of the farm and we also saw Matt Roloff cruising around. It was a fun time!

Southern California

Chris, Lucy and I just got back from a long weekend in southern California visiting Chris' brother Kevin, his wife April and their new baby Elizabeth who is 8 weeks old. We did lots of fun things with them...we went to Disney's California Adventure Friday night to go trick-or-treating, and Lucy got to meet Minnie and Mickey Mouse! She thought that was very cool. We also went to San Diego's Wild Animal Park and visited a pumpkin patch. Lucy got some good use out of her ladybug Hall-o-ween costume! We loved spending time with them and meeting their pretty little girl. We also loved getting to have a short visit with an old friend of mine from high school. Our fun came to an end though Sunday night when we found out that our flight was so delayed that we would miss our connection, and every flight that night was overbooked because of the holiday weekend. We tried to go standby on two different flights, but didn't get on those flights. So we ended up having to take the first flight out the next morning. We were all so tired! But the trip was worth it. We had a great time! Here are some photos from the weekend.

Boating

Some friends from work invited us out with them on their boat about a month ago when it was still kind of warm in Portland! We all had fun, I even got to water ski a little bit! Lucy especially had fun with the wind whipping through her hair and wearing her cute little life jacket. Here are some photos and a video from that night.
