These past 2 weeks have been so fun and eventful I have never been so busy since the wedding. We have visited all mikes brother's and sister's and played with all the kids...i think i have been to every mall in Portland and Salem Oregon :) lots and lots of christmas shopping. Its been fun catching up and being the newlyweds in the bunch. And I am just falling in love with all my neice's and nephew's more and more each day I see them. The first day we got to Portland we were greeted by Mila and Jenn we went to Ikea and then to Beau and Max's christmas sing a' long so fun to see all the elementry kids sing songs and have another festive production. We were greeted later that night by the Garlock's Lisa, Dave and Sawyer, they had finally got into town from St. Louis. We all stayed at the marriott downtown, it was sooo nice! The next day we spent all together and then went to the Blazer Game with the whole gang even Mike's dad Al joined us. It had been a long time since the whole family had been together like that. And P.S. the Blazers won. Keeping the winning streak going! The next day we, and the Garlock's headed down to Salem where we would spend the rest of the trip at Al's house it was time to put up the tree, decorate the house and bring the christmas spirit to Al! For the last week we have been eating all of Lisa's wonderful baked treats, Shopping and Shopping some more, babysitting little ones and having great dinners every night then putting the little one down (Sawyer) and hanging with Lisa and Dave and watching christmas movies downstairs where we all have been staying :) Its my first christmas away but its been amazing so far and I love spending time with my husband and my new family.
