Christmas in Oregon - Part 1

We flew to Oregon to spend Christmas with Dave's family. Our flight was not great...we used miles to get our tickets because we couldn't find any non-stop flights that were reasonably priced. Well, when we got on the plane at the Burbank Airport, the flight attendant informed us that we would be stopping in Sacramento to refuel because the plane was so full with passengers and luggage, that we couldn't take off with a full tank. I always need to keep perspective and think, yes, I'm glad they are keeping us safe, at the same time we could have saved our miles and just bought tickets for a flight with a stopover...sheesh...and take off and landing is the hardest part with a baby. Anyway, we made it and Raja was very well behaved. We flew into Portland and stayed the first night with our close, wonderful friends Tim, Abby, Ethan, Max, and Owen Osborn, who moved to Portland from Pasadena in September. Seeing Tim's smiling, welcoming face immediately after getting our bags was incredibly comforting and we were very excited to see the whole family. Ethan (and Max, too) adored and played with Raja so much that I got to chat and chat and chat with Abby. We loved every minute of it. Thanks for having us, Osborns! Here are some pictures of the fun we had...hanging out in our pjs.
