Christmas at the Cabin!

We could have just stopped at stockings they were so excited.

A got everything she could have wanted. Her two favorites were a marble track and a talking animal facts game.

B got some good things too but his two biggest things had to get returned because it didn't work or there were missing parts. That bummed him out.

C was happy to just be in all the excitement. Santa gave him a helmet with a note saying he dropped off his present under his tree at home, not that he understood or anything.


All the lute we had to get back to Cali.

Christmas Eve day was spent trying to find a tree. Luckily they found one pretty fast. It was so cold.

Then we had to make decorations to decorate the tree.

Next we had a little show.

Then to end Christmas Eve the kids opened their p.j.'s and grandpa read them a story.

Everyday there were new icicles that had formed around the cabin. B loved knocking them down and playing with them. Most of all he enjoyed eating the snow.

We spent just about everyday at the sledding hill. C was such a good sport in the cold.

A was the ultimate sledder. She even went off a big rock, flying her in the air about 5 feet and then landing in a bunch of trees. We told her if she is headed towards something dangerous she should just jump off the sled. Her response was "I close my eyes. I can't see where I'm going."

C loved the snow as long as he wasn't laying in it. He got so excited when it was snowing and would land on his face. It was so much fun to see life through his eyes on this trip. Everything made him smile. It was all so new to him.


Ahhh, my perfect little snow angels.

I bet your kids love the snow. I know ours could never get enough of it at Grandma's when we lived in Cali. Looks like you guys had a great Christmas! How are you feeling? When do you find out what you are having? We find out the middle of Feb. Have a good week.

Looks like a lot of fun! I bet that was great just hanging out in the cabin and playing in the snow. Glad we could meet up in Park City even if it was only for a short visit.
