The Start of the Celebrations...

Monday (Oct 19th) we had the chance to go out with Uncle Kevin, Tanta Katja and Unky Sean while Grammy Polly generously watched Arthur for us. We enjoyed dinner and drinks while catching up.

Then Wednesday the real fun began... I picked up Anette (Katja's mom who was in from Germany for the week) and Katja and we went and got our nails done
Then all the ladies gathered at Tea's Me in Hillsboro for Katja's American bridal shower

 After the ladies parted ways, Artur and I scooted across Oregon (not really but it felt like it- Troutdale and Hillsboro are pretty far apart, especially in traffic on I-84 the night before Thanksgiving). There we crashed the boys party at Edgefield.

 Ryan, Arthur & I decided to stay the night so we could use the soaking pool (best soaking pool ever!!!). All of us LOVED it!
