visit to portland

we just returned from portland where we visited with Kea and Lorrin and a few of matt's friends from college. we arrived friday evening at lorrin's apartment in the pearl. brev just LOVED all the lighted trees. lorrin and kea cooked us a great meal, and we ended the night by giving brev a candy cane...pictures below! i only let him have for about 3 minutes because i was afraid of it breaking off into his mouth. needless to say, the boy LOVED it. i had to give him a serious scrub down afterwards though. on saturday, we woke up early, got coffee, then hit up some stores for the rest of the afternoon. we miss portland, especially during christmas time when everyone is out and about getting ready for christmas. brev sat on santa's lap and shared all his christmas wishes with him (a high chair is on the top of his list). saturday evening auntie kea hosted a holiday party. brev was the life of the party, smiling and cooing at everyone. we headed home from the party early so the boy could get a good night sleep, and his mommy and daddy too! cheers!!!
