Every year about this time, we plan a "Christmas Fun Day" in Portland. Marcus and I pick a school day and drive all the kids downtown for a visit to Macy's, dinner, and dessert (sometimes a trip to the toy store, too!). This year was a little different: we postponed our trip a week so that we could include grandpa and grandma (yay!!!) and we went to town in the morning so we could have lunch and then make it back for a Christmas play practice in the afternoon. So on Thursday we bundled up and braved the wet winter storm to continue with a happily-modified version of our annual tradition.

| This is the first "meaningful" Christmas for Gemma. Everything was magical to her. |
 |
| Every kid got some one-on-one time with the big guy. The best part for the adults... no line! (Yay homeschooling!) |

| SOOO happy to share all of this with grandma and grandpa! |
