Oregon Highlights

Here are some highlights from our trip to Oregon this winter.

Multnomah Falls

Not quite used to napping in a bed.

Girls night out with my dear friends from high school and college.

Puzzles at grandpa's house.

Milkshakes and cousins after visiting Auntie Jen.

The awesome kitchen in our rental house outside of Canby.

The view from the kitchen.  The kids had a blast on those huge swings.

Christmas Cake!

Loving napping in her sleeping bag on the air mattress.

Decouvian Reunion!  These are most of my dorm mates from UO.

And also all crammed into a photo booth.

Views from Crown Point Vista House.

Around UO, a rest stop on the drive home.

Tossing rocks in the river outside of Redding.

Sundial Bridge

A Sundae at Fentons.  That means we're almost back home!

One last ride on the carousel.

Here are a few fun moments from December....

I made a Peppa Pig birthday cake for our neighbor Joy.

Gingerbread house contest with church.

Kate helping Papa at Hot Meals.

We got to stay overnight in SF for Wes' Christmas party at the Exploratorium.

The hotel had "snow" bubbles.

And we got to do a quick visit to my Uncle Daniel, and a view of the big tree across the street.

Dinner at Hobbees.

Cookie decorating party with friends.

Mt. Hood

During our Oregon visit, we took a day and a half to have some fun in the snow on Mt. Hood.

The first day was a long drive up, while it was snowing.  It got deep enough, Wes even went and bought us chains for our van that has AWD.  It was fun to be in the snow, but it was quite a little blizzard going on.

Here's a picture of Grandpa and Teri and the girls before the snow really started falling.

And here's everyone walking around.  What a winter wonderland!

The snow started coming down while we were tubing.  The girls were covered in snow, but still had fun.

Emeline and I when we hiked up to a bigger slope to tube down.

Grandpa and the littles in a three person tube.

Coming down!

Papa and the girls.  You can see the snow is really building up on their tubes now.

Family photo in the snow before calling it a day.

The next day, the skies were clear and it was beautiful.  We went to a smaller tubing area and had a little more fun before we drove back.
