Curated Portland Pit Stops
One of the Portland friends, Corinne, has curated a zany and fun peek at some of Portland’s famous pit stops. We will gather at the Zoo and carpool together to downtown to meet up with Corinne at Powell’s Books. . Likely to include coffee, books and a few surprises. Dress warm and be ready to laugh (and maybe even compete).
Christmas Day Pot Luck
Bring a dish and join us. We’ve created a Mexican themed menu that we hope you’ll love!
Movie on Christmas Day
Join us for the tradition of a family movie outing on Christmas Day. We will let everyone know the movie choices and correct time as we get closer to the day.
Holiday Lights on Peacock Lane
Join us for a walk through a neighborhood filled with creative light displays that include nativity scenes, rotating Christmas trees, and stunningly life-like replicas of Santa, Frosty, The Grinch, and a wide variety of colorful characters to bring festive joy to the holiday season
Forest Park Hiking
Forest Park, at 5,200 acres, provides critical refuge for hundreds of native wildlife and plant species and acts as an important air and water filter. With more than 80 miles of trails, there is one for every level of fitness. (Don’t worry we won’t try to cover all 80 miles.)
Family Elections
Elley’s family has created a very silly tradition of hosting fake elections. Two people team up as running mates for President and Vice President.* They come up with their campaign platform beforehand, and then we host a presidential debate. Parties will be asked hard-hitting questions like “How do you plan to unify the country?” And “Why is pizza so important to your political platform?” At the end of the debate, all attendees vote for who the next president and vice present will be! Examples of past political platforms: “Pizza for everyone,” “More vegan bakeries,” and “More naps on couches.” Think about who you want to run with and what your platform might be, and prepare to debate!
Bowling at Kingpins Entertainment Center
Join us for some friendly competition. No matter your level of bowling expertise, there will be a team for you!
