Backtracking: Thanksgiving weekend

This year was the first time I didn't go to my parent's house for Thanksgiving. I initially thought I would be very sad, but we actually had a great time!
Jenny and Ben B. got to Portland Wednesday night and stayed until Sunday. We didn't do a whole lot outside because the weather was kind of lame and we found other things to occupy our time.

Jenny and I did a little shopping on Black Friday, but waited until 11am. I found a really nice snowboarding jacket on sale but that was about it. We went to the dog park one day which is always fun and entertaining.

The boys were interested in going to eat (and drink, of course) at the Rogue restaurant downtown. That was pretty fun and was followed up by a quick trip to Powell's Bookstore. Unfortunatly Jenny wasn't feeling well so that was cut short.
Jenny is not looking well

I think I'm teasing him


Time to go home

Thanksgiving dinner was hosted by Todd and Sobo at their apartment. It was nice meeting Sobo's parents and hanging out with the boys, Sarah, and Spencer (Sarah's brother). I made stuffing and pies, Jenny baked some delicious twice-baked potatoes.

Stuffing is serious business Mmmmm, butter Erik wasn't much help
Sobo and his nice motherOoooh, football

It was a great weekend!
