Though we ended up staying in Portland over Christmas, we had plenty to do! Some of our friends were around for the holidays as well (since a lot of them are from the Midwest too), so we all hosted get-togethers and dinners so that something was always going on. The first party we attended was Courtney and Charlie's annual holiday party. They always have a White Elephant gift exchange, so that's always fun to be a part of. After the White Elephant, Charlie pulled out a little black box that was hidden on the fireplace and proposed to Courtney in front of all of us. What a great event to be a part of! So I nudged Brad to grab his iPhone quickly and grab a picture to help capture the moment. I guess it's about time since they've been dating for 6 years...
On Christmas Day, we hosted a dinner at our place. Actually, I forgot to mention...Christmas Eve we went over to the Maya house (the family in the back) for an amazing dinner of duck, beef tenderloin, and noodles. It was yummy!
Part of the spread for our Christmas dinner. Kristina is digging in to her vegetarian lasagna while Matt is grabbing a slice of our spiral sliced ham.

Here's the group again - we whipped out the Wii and got some bowling and tennis in. The kids loved playing it and were giving out hi-fives to the bowlers who bowled strikes and spares :)
