Blue Mountain Lodge- 2009

So here is a quick recap of our time spent up at the Blue Mountain Lodge. I had sooo many pictures, hence the collages to fit more in!

Here's a little history: In my side of the family Christmas is always been spent... AWAY (Gasp!) from home. I have only spent like two Christmases at home that I can remember and they were kind of weird for me. We usually pack up all our stuff and head out to a cabin with my mom's whole extended family. I love it since it has always been TRADITION, although to most it seems very strange. Let's just say it is an adventure to pack all the Christmas things in a car and ride for hours. So for the past years (since we outgrew the first cabin in Sunriver, OR) we have spent time at the Blue Mountain Lodge, out in the BOONDOCKS of NW Oregon.

We had lots of relaxing fun being with family and enjoying the snow, holiday and food. Since there is no internet, much phone service, or even a grocery store near by we make our own fun by:

• Cooking and Enjoying food
• Watching lots of movies
• Playing Games (like our new favorite... Up the River, Down the River)
• Going for daily walks in the WINTER WONDERLAND
  

• Sledding on our usually sledding hill (but we wished we would have gotten some nice fresh snow)
  

• And of course celebrating Christmas (more in a later post)
