SUNDAY - hanging out

I got up at 06:26AM feeling a little tired. I ate some Peanut Butter and Peanut Butter Brittle yesterday afternoon and evening. Although it tasted delicious, my stomach and intestines were not happy, especially when I walked up and down stairs or practiced Yoga. So Peanut Butter is still out for me :-(

I took a shower while the kids watched the DOCTOR WHO Christmas Special. Then I edited my Japan trip photos, while Naresh and Steve and Jackie visited in the kitchen. Later, I joined them for a while, as Sophia tried on her ski gear for their upcoming Lake Tahoe trip. Meanwhile, the boys (all 4) were playing SKYLANDERS in the ping pong room.

Around lunchtime Marc, Steve, Naresh and the boys walked down to a shopping mall to do some shopping before lunch. Jackie and Sophia and I drove to the restaurant, a much more sensible solution. We ate at PIAZZA ITALIA, a nice Italian restaurant in Portland. While we were eating, snow started falling. And the snow kept coming down for the rest of the afternoon. I felt amazed: snow in Portland! I felt really cold, so Jackie drove me and the kids home after lunch. Marc and Steve and Naresh and his 2 sons walked around for a while. Then Jackie picked them up and drove them around Washington Park to see the snow before driving them home.

After everybody had returned to the house, James and John opened their Birthday gifts from Naresh before playing more NINTENDO Wii. I briefly visited with Steve and Naresh before surfing the InterNet for large Yoga foam bolsters for Jackie. And after that, I do not recall, so it must have been boring :-) And such was our Christmas weekend for 2015.
