Each year my mom has a creative Christmas Eve gift for everyone. This year was a theme with clues and we had to guess what the gifts were. Everyone got a box of cereal and a t-shirt to match. Even 4 month old Sam had a POP'S onsie. Don't ask me how she found t-shirts for everyone. When she sets her mind to something, it happens. Thanks Mom for making each holiday special.
A Christmas of Cereal Killers
Sun Valley Serenade
Every year at this time we take a trip with Dustin's family to Sun Valley. This trip is one of our very favorites. SV is a magical place. I can't show you how magical in pictures because my camera battery was dead and I didn't bring a charger. I can, however, tell you how magical and wonderful this place is.
* Enjoying the holiday season with friends and family
*Swimming in the gigantic hot tub that is so big if you are on one side you can't see over to the other side.
*Skiing and hanging out in the ski lodge
*Eating delicious food
*Taking a horse-drawn sleigh ride to a cabin for dinner
*Singing carols on the sleigh ride
*Snuggling close to your loved ones in -3 degree weather on the sleigh ride and not feeling one bit cold
*The Carolers and Santa making a visit at our cabin dinner.
** Skiing with Dane gets two stars because this kid can rip and go down pretty much any run. It is so fun to be able to ski with your kids.
*Everyone who helped me take care of Ian in the ski lodge while Dustin and I skiied with Dane.
*Watching Sun Valley Serenade
*Zoe and Berkeley for watching about 10 kids each night so the parents could go out to dinner.
*The wonderful bowling alley where the kids pretty much take care of themselves if you give them enough money to play video games.
*My brother getting engaged to his girlfriend on the ice skating rink (wedding is March 27) Welcome to the family Heidi!
You Can't Catch Me I'm the Gingerbread Man
Our annual family Gingerbread House making party this year was great. Many thanks to my mom and Dustin's mom for making soup. Dustin and I couldn't do this party without lots of help. It is so fun to watch the kids get into their decorating. Skye made a house boat, Izzy a motel, Jackson a log cabin, Zoe a mansion, Dane a small house with a LARGE garage, Dustin a Frank Lloyd Wright house, Jen a white trash house, Sherrie a train and the list goes on... Everyone is so creative. We enjoy looking forward to this party every year.
