Walking in a Winter Wonderland
Tonight's date night with the kids started out at The Old Spaghetti Factory on the Willamette River. It's become a tradition each year to dine there before going to see the lights on the Riverplace Marina, the Tree Downtown and Santa at Meier and Frank, now Macy's.
For so many years we visited the Winter Wonderland on the 8th floor of Meier and Frank. Macy's bought it and changed the scenes and placement of Santa-land. It's still fun to see, but it broke my heart knowing Brody wouldn't get to ride the monorail circling the room, looking down at Santa.
Kenna asked Santa for Sweet Streets and a doll.....Griffin wants a Wii.
The weather was perfect....and the tree is beautiful and huge as always.

I remember my oldest ones riding that train when they were little. It was all so magical. Portland looks great, and so do you guys. Merry Christmas!
What a fun tradition! And I'm so glad Todd gets Christmas off. AND, fun that the Pete's are coming!
What a fun date night. We'll have similar traditions with our kids but it won't be the same since they weren't MY childhood traditions. Great. Now I'm craving OSF. Hooray Todd gets the day off. Sad that Cami wants her retainer out. She looks really pretty in that picture.
Looks like so much fun as always! I remember that cute Christmas card by the umbrella man!
What a fun tradition and congrats Cookie Queen. You should publish your recipes!
