Here's my most favorite sister-in-law, Candy - she was in charge of pulling the kids on sleds. She'll be an RN by the end of the month, so not only could she drive the sled, but she was also prepared to provide medical assistance. :)
She had them three sleds deep. They really had a great time and only took timeouts when the old snowmobile needed a break.
Here's Mitchie - on his snowboard - being pulled behind a snowmobile by Darin.
As it turned out, Robin and Anja were experts at making snow angels. Anja lives in Tennessee, so this was the most snow she'd ever seen. She couldn't get enough.
I was playing the Humble Bumble snow monster, and here she is trying to escape.
After Anja saw Payton take this spill from the last snow sled, she only wanted to ride on that sled.
Candy drove much slower with Anja on the back, so she didn't fall off so dramatically, but I think the suspense was enough for her (and us)!
I think it's pretty safe to say that Hayden had a great time in the snow, too. He's already pretty good at making and throwing snowballs. So - even though he's only a little guy - I'll be playing snowball wars with him for only one or two more years. Then the boys can take over.
Sara loved eating the snow. She must have eaten a couple snowballs worth.
She was pulled on a snow sled by hand, but Spencer did take her on a short ride or two around the meadow.
Here's Matt and Robin enjoying the snow. More photos to come.
He'll stay there until he's so hot that he can't stand it anymore but that often takes awhile. He'll hold out 'til the very last second. 
He's not getting out of the quilt anytime soon tonight. I don't think I could get him off the couch, even if I wanted to.
Ben, of course, made himself right at home. This quilt is just his size.
This is the look on Darin's face when I was saying, "Get closer to Ben and give him a big hug - come on, closer, closer. He needs a hug." I don't really remember, but as I vaguely recall, I don't think Darin wanted to give Ben a big hug. I think he thought I was up to something...
AH HA! Success! This is exactly what I was going for - a big kiss from Ben complete with walrus whiskers.
I guess from the shot below you can probably tell that I couldn't talk Darin into scooting closer to Ben again to give him just one more hug. :)
Sports a wicked pirate costume - watch out Johnny Depp,
Comes out in a Trojan Horse to impress and endear USC Trojan fans,
And does as many push ups as the total Oregon score each time the team adds points to the board. I've seen this duck do 47 push ups in a row!
She really liked Jake. He loves kids, so they made a good pair. Ben's not so interested in kids. He's good with kids, but he can take them or leave them where as Jake can't get enough. If Sara could fit Jake in her pocket, he'd jump in for sure.
We watched the Steelers on Monday Night Football. Darin showed Sara how to be a good Steeler's fan - complete with a Terrible Towel. Nicke and I were quite amused watching Darin that night. He would get the first half of a swear word out, and then quickly change it to something like - apple butter or kelly clarkston!
I think I did a good job capturing this mullet in all its glory. But, more than being proud, I am humbled by the kill. One note of interest - his snack of choice was chili dogs. Makes sense. I spent the rest of the game with my eyes peeled making sure there were no others in the vicinity. 
Rather than taking Hayden hiking in the snow, we drove part of the North Cascades Loop. 
Hayden skillfully spotted the big, black train in Newhalem. He had a great time climbing all over and ringing the bell. 
He also saw his first deer in Mazama. He said we probably saw forty or fifty deer! :)
