Sledding on Mt. Hood

The girls are here!!  They've been here for almost a week now, and time is going by fast.  Apparently that happens when you're having fun.  ;)

Here are some pictures from our trip up to Mt. Hood yesterday.  We had a blast sledding and playing in the snow, even if there wasn't much snow to play in.  (We've been having strangely clear skies lately, and I love it.)  ;)  Anyway, we're making the most of our time together as a whole family before the girls head back to North Carolina on Monday.

Here are the kids listening to Justin Bieber on Shel's iPod.  Now Maddie claims to be "in love."

 Noel came down with the flu on Monday, but he was feeling well enough to come up for the ride and eat some Doritoes.  It's great to see him smiling after a rough few days.

 Emma is a fan of Doritoes too.  And she has just enough of her face poking out from all the layers to pop some in her mouth.  Ha.

 Our beautiful Mt. Hood.

 Where's Emma??

 There she is!  :)

 Here's our lovely Shelby.

 And Damian with all the kids.

 Maddie put Shelby to work, pulling her around.  :)

 Here's our lovely Raylee.

 Emma had a blast being spun around in circles in the tubes.  She's crazy like that.

 That's Raylee starting down the hill, on her tummy, with Mad in front.

 Here is a rare picture of me!... and Damian and Ems.  ;)

 Me and my love.

 Sisters!!

 Shelby took this picture of us, heading back down to the car.  I'm glad there wasn't as much snow, otherwise I'd be sliding down this hill, hurting myself, instead of walking nicely.  :)

 And here's one last group shot before heading home.  We were only up there for 3 hours, but everyone was exhausted!
