Merry Christmas!

For Christmas this year, we gave our aunts, grandparents and cousins a snowshoe adventure on Mount Hood. They cashed in today, and we spent a picture-perfect day in the snow.

We started at the Glacier View Sno-Park just across Highway 26 from Ski Bowl and tromped around the Kurt's Connection trail. Then we took a little side trip down the Glacier View trail for this awesome view of the... glacier:
Aren't we a good-looking bunch?!?!

Then we went to Enid Lake for a sunny lunch break. We dined on PBJs, apples, granola bars, Chili Cheese Fritos, fruit snacks, cookies, Triscuits and Easy Cheese.

Ma and Pa had to head home to prepare for the big Easter brunch at their house tomorrow, but the rest of us stayed and played in the snow for a couple hours. Brad dug us a quick snow cave: We made trails all along the bank and slid down on our butts over and over. The weather was awesome, but we still had piles of fresh powder from the recent snow storms. It doesn't get better than that!

We ended the day by meeting back in town for Mexican food to celebrate Kayla's 11th birthday (March 19). HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KAYLA!!
