The celebration continues...

We continued to celebrate with Matt's favorite things...

There was football. (The Bears lost-boo)
Matt painted some more and we enjoyed some of the Wonderful Royal Rivera Pears from Harry and David that Delores brought. I had never had them before but they were amazing! They are like a dessert so sweet and juicy.
For dinner, we went to the new Mexican Restaurant in Sherwood-Manzanillo. It was a much anticipated meal as their "Opening Soon" sign had been up for about a year. They sang for Matt and we got to share in his Fried Ice Cream-yum.
Then we went and checked out the Christmas lights at a neighborhood in Tualatin.
When we got home, we played Matt's 24 game (like the TV show). We failed our mission but then found out that Matt was the mole so I guess he won. Delores made a yummy Peanut Butter Pie dessert from my Cooking Light magazine (so it was somewhat good for you). It turned out very well.
Today is Matt's actual birthday so the celebration continues...
On another note...Oregon got hit with a massive storm with rain and wind. Our rain gauge on our back deck measured 2.67 inches of rain in the last 24 hours. There is alot of flooding, power outages and trees down. We are blessed to be safe and sound and we have electricity so I can write this:-)
