Winter Falls

It has been a cold winter for Portland. Of course now it’s back to daily rain. Last weekend was freezing. Graham and I attempted to drive up the Gorge to see Multnomah Falls. I’ve always wanted to see the waterfall covered with ice. Unfortunately there was too much ice and the roads were closed. We didn’t get to see Multnomah Falls but we did get to see some no name small falls that were still pretty impressive.

Lobsters

Thanks to Clay for our Lobster Gram, Graham and I had a delicious and very rich dinner at home. We certainly splurged...surf 'n turf with salad, clam chowder, wine and dessert. I don't know how we finished it all but we did. I'm not sure when I will be cooking lobster again but it was a great dinner.

Happy New Year’s

We kicked off New Year’s Eve, at Kris and Sarah’s. I had a blast shooting off confetti poppers – I was just thankful it wasn’t at my house. New Year’s day was a lovely lazy day. Graham and I watched movies and I made a BIG batch of Hopping John. Hopefully, I’ve helped to set us up for a lucky new year.

A Second Christmas!

Graham, Rita, Matt and myself made the journey out to Gates Oregon, to have Christmas with my Dad and Xandra the weekend after Christmas. We had a nice overnight visit and in the morning we even had a dusting of snow. Xandra made a delicious turkey soup for dinner and we helped them eat most of their remaining holiday chocolates (even some of the ones we had brought with us). It was great to see Hannah again and as you can see I really couldn’t get enough of her. In fact I realized later that I only took pictures of her. Sorry family, I guess I really like dogs…
