This will be the first year with my Mom and her husband moved to TX. Likewise, both my wife's parents have passed. So we've only got my sister in town and they decided to mix it up on our Christmas Eve tradition of dinner at a historic downtown Portland restaurant.

It was kinda cool that we had reservations for four, and I posted up on FB and have two different friends that have East Coast families that are actually going to join us. We're really stoked to have "friends as family" with us for Christmas Eve dinner.
