Grandma Rathbun's Birthday


To celebrate my mom's birthday we decided to go to Pittock Mansion. Pittock Mansion was once the private home of Henry Louis Pittock, founder of The Oregonian newspaper. This 22-room house was built in 1914. The mansion sits 1,000 feet above sea level and commands a view of five mountains in the Cascade Range. During the holiday season the Pittock is elaborately decorated and features a festive holiday theme "Twas the Night Before Christmas."
We loved wandering through the home. It was so beautiful. Then we headed to NW 23rd to have lunch...and lucky for us Cohen slept the whole time. We had a peaceful and delicious lunch. My mom and I really loved the butternut squash soup. yum!
That evening the rest of the family joined us for dinner and cake. Olivia loves birthdays! She helped make Grandma's cake, blow out the candles, and eat it too.
