Merry Christmas!!!!

As many of you know, we make a big deal out of Christmas. We decided several years ago to try and fit as many family Christmas activities in that we could. Portland is a great town for wonderful experiences. Last year we listed most of the activities that we participate in, and provided links to info on these events. If you scroll down a little, you will see the list.

If you would like to join us on any of these endeavors, please send us an email, or drop a dime. We love to enjoy Christmas with family and friends alike.

Have a Merry Christmas!!

A Christmas Carol

Our family had a wonderful experience participating in a church production of Charles Dicken's "A Christmas Carol." Jack had a lead role at Tiny Tim, and he did great! Scott played Young Ebenezer (the one that gets dumped by his girlfriend). Jane was in the children's chorus, and Tanya was a backstage coordinator. For the better part of 2 1/2 months we were totally engrossed in practices, costumes, singing, etc. We had a blast, and enjoyed the time we could spend together. We hope to get the chance to do it again.

Cheap Houses

I am doing some consulting work for a bank that has foreclosed on new homes. If you live in Oregon or Utah, you may find some good deals. Here are the websites:
