A few of our buy-in parties were still able to take place...including this amazing one reposted from @christiewi:
Oh man, that was fun. 😍 Tonight’s Farm to Table cooking class was a party board item from our kids’ school auction last year, and it was amazing! If you’re looking for a great date night or team/community building in the Portland area, I highly recommend checking out The Kitchen at Middleground Farm. The setting is beautiful and the dishes are delicious...but the community was the best of all. We love our West Hills family! 💗 @westhillschristianpdx
