Portland Trip with the Byers


So we were invited to Adi Stimmels Birthday in Portland on the 19th. The boys and I went and had a blast, but I completely spaced taking pictures of our dear friends. We did bring the Byers down to spend a night in Portland for fun and had Shane meet us after he got off work in Hermiston, OR. We decided it would be a good time if we saw something Christmas like, went to Powell's books, and ate at Voodoo Doughnuts. We started our fun times off by going to the best place for Christmas Lights in Portland, Peacock Lane! It really was so much fun. It has been a decked out street for Christmas lights since the 1920's. Looking at lights is one of my very favorite things to do at Christmas time. We parked at the Walgreen's right at the end of the street and walked up one side and down the other of the street. It was so busy, but we got a parking spot right away. It was funny because we were like cattle along the sidewalk being corralled. The boys loved it and my favorite house was decked out with The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.
