Christmas concerts galore!
We have attended three concerts just this week, so we know the Christmas Season is upon us! One of our stops was the Arlene Schnitzer Concert hall downtown. It is such a lovely building, one of my favorites in Portland. Jefferson's high school choir joined another high school choir and the Metropolitan Youth Orchestra for a beautiful rendition of Beethoven's 5th.
Another one of our Portland favorites, is the bubbler drinking fountains. They run continuously, who doesn't like that?
And Mr. Jackson found a paper crown somewhere and decided he was King of Portland. Oh, it feels good to be outside after a three hour concert!

Whose teeth are these?
Let's see if you can place the teeth in the correct mouth...
So...which mouth would you put them into?
Today Kennedy was very, very, brave and she got 4 of her baby teeth pulled. Here she is with her "Happy gas" mask onto help relax her a bit.
Alex, the dental hygenist was so kind and comforting to Kennedy. I think they are new best friends.
And here is Kennedy sans four teeth. I have no idea how her mouth can hold so many teeth!
Jackson took these lovely teeth from a half decomposed nutria and made them into this lovely necklace that he wears proudly.
He is so enamored with nutria he has set a "nutria trap" on the island and checks it daily for a catch. I am thinking he will be coming home one night from his trap checks smelling of skunk ;0)

Family
My sister Micah was here for the Thanksgiving holiday and she is a great photographer. She took a family photo for us. Unfortunately, we were all wearing white (not her idea, just what we had on at the time) and we look like it is a group baptism picture. Amusing for sure. Thanks Micah for all the photos you took!
