Christmas Eve!

SANTA'S COMING TONIGHT: Here it is, another Christmas Eve. The year 2014 is winding down, and Santa is on his globe trotting circuit. The kids ate their last chocolate from their IKEA advent calendars today. 

We've been making our way over the rivers and to the woods for a couple of days now. Last night, we stopped in Wilsonville, where we enjoyed a dinner with family at the Wilsonville McMenamins, a neat space in a converted old church. 
Today, it was back on the road again, south and west, toward the Oregon Coast. Along the way we stopped at another McMenamins, this time, in Corvallis (home of the Oregon State University). 

This McMenamins had kind of an English countryside pub look and feel. (In case you're wondering why all the McMenamins stops, we're trying to collect stamps in our McMenamins' passports, earning prizes along the way.)
Annabelle looked the same in both of the McMenamins we visited. ;)
Tonight before bedtime, we checked in with the Santa trackers at NORAD. Santa had already delivered 5.5 billion presents and was working his way westward. He'd already been to the nation's capital! http://youtu.be/SnS5klLapKQ
