When I was up in Portland for Thanksgiving my parents sent some Christmas presents home with me.  I was talking to my mom yesterday who asked if I had opened them yet which I hadn’t.  She said we could open them yesterday as my son Tyler and I are going up to Portland tomorrow afternoon for Christmas.  So yeah I had his presents in my closet so he wouldn’t get into them if you are wondering where we are opening them.  Without Lana’s shoes and clothes it is like another room in the house.  He gets pretty excited about a few of them and by the end he obviously figured out the whole tear off the wrapping paper to get to the toy trick.    There are seven videos all together so if you are fascinated by this type of thing click the more button below the second video.

I know Starbucks is sometimes criticised but to me they still seem like a great company.  Before you read on think about the power behind having 10,000 partners/employees working toward a common goal for doing good.  Pretty powerful stuff…

I took this picture of my little guy sleeping the other day.  My mom made me that blanket when I was a kid so it is cute to see him with it.

So everyone has been complaining how cold it is here in California these days.  You want cold?  This is cold…

This is a funny video my dad sent me that I uploaded to YouTube.  I hear it is cold up in Portland.
