Sunriver

Needless to say, we had a fantastic weekend at Sunriver, Oregon. For the last 3 years, my mom has been attending Oregon Health and Science University, and each winter the school subsidizes accomodations at Sunriver for any student that would like to attend during a specific weekend in January. So this is our third year going as a family, and probably the last, since my mom graduates in June as a Certified Nurse Midwife! Go mom! The idea of the trip is not to ski and sitesee, but to relax, veg out, pig out, play games, and of course, do a little sledding at the snowed-over golf course.

After playing in the snow, we went exploring at the Lodge. There is a big old stuffed bear (not real) next to the front desk - the kids loved it! (L-R Mary - Rachel's oldest, Chloe, Madison, Leah)

My lovely parents! Mt. Bachelor was right behind them, but you can't see it worth beans in this pic!

With two of my sistas, Heidi and Rachel:

Saturday night we did a little makeshift birthday party for Chloe, Holly, and JR since their birthdays were in December. Here Chloe is trying on the adorable hat and scarf Grandma knitted for her!
