Happy Holidays from the Portland Elves!!

New Coats

As some of you have heard, we are moving into a brand new apartment in our building. We got a chance to paint the walls this weekend. (the yellow layer was our failed first attempt).



Olive is overseeing the work.



Here's one wall that we already finished!

Renee's 27th Birthday!

We had a wonderful day on my birthday. Brian made me crepes in the morning and then we went for a walk around 23rd stopping to get some chocolates. Then sushi for dinner! Thank you everyone for sending me treats and gifts, it made my day so special :)

Ingrid & Olive

Here are some images of Ingrid and Olive that I came across yesterday and realizes I never posted them. They are just to cute not to put on our blog even 6 months after she came to visit us!
