Fun on the snowy mountain

My daughter Lauren came home from a tour in Iraq right around Thanksgiving time. It was truely a time to give thanks for her safe return. She planned a wonderful snowy, Christmas getaway for us up on Mt. Baker. She rented a lovely,cozy cabin for 3 nights and we spent December 23-26 up there. Mitch,Sheraden,Lauren and Baron all decided to take a snowboarding lesson. I just went as the official photographer. They had a blast and wore themselves out. It was so fun just to watch them having such a great time. LeAnn and Russ stayed at the cabin with our dog Rusty. (Thanks guys) On Christmas day we all went back up the mountain to go sledding. It was a mini blizzard and the wind was blowing the falling snow in our faces like a sandblaster. We managed to each have a few runs down the hill with our sleds, before we knew we should start back down to Glacier where the cabin was. It was nice to be together like that and I will cherish the memories always. Here are some pictures of our trip.
