Trip to Oregon for Christmas!

We flew to Oregon for Christmas this year. The boys did great on the plane (with only a little ear pain) and were excited to fly. We managed to get our rental and hit the road. We stopped in Wilsonville (wow things look so different) for food and then were on our way again. Zeke ate his hamburger and within 1 min. of us switching drivers Zeke cried saying his was going to throw up. We threw him the fast food bag and he managed to aim a little bit, but the bad didn't do much. It got everywhere! I stopped the car and in the freezing cold, stripped Zeke down to his underwear, wiped him, my coat, his coat, the car, and his car seat off with wet wipes. We threw some new clothes on him and got back on the road. We arrived at Kristel and Taylor's birthday party at about 9pm.

We got up Friday morning and head over to Jacob and Deborah's house to make gingerbread houses. They did a couple real sets of gingerbread for the older kids and then we cut up some cake for the younger kids. It was so fun to watch their different personalities come out during the project. Porter and Jacob ate the candy and marshmallows as fast as they could and were done before too long.


Zeke was meticulous and spent a good hour and half on his. Isaac added some frosting, candy and marshmallows, smashed the cake up really well, and then stuffed it in his face. It was so funny!

The rest of the day was spent checking out Daniel and Bethany's house, going to Costco and working on Christmas projects.
