Christmas at the cabin

Every year after Christmas we go up to the cabin......like everyone...goes up to the cabin. I think there's about 25-ish of us now with one tiny bathroom and a kitchen that won't hold more than 2 people at once. But it actually works out great and we love it! This year did not disappoint. With all the new snow we got it made it even better. As I was scanning through all the pictures I realized we didn't take one single picture inside the cabin. Oh well! Maybe next year.

80% of the time was spent sledding

10% eating

5% playing, laughing, exchanging Christmas presents

5% sleeping (if you're one of the lucky ones)

 I think we took like 100 pictures of this little knucklehead alone. How can you not?

 A view of the world's best sledding hill.

 And a view of the world's best daddy.....

 Kate got cold so this was Trav's solution.

 Look at her itty bitty little nose! Ha ha ha!

 This was one way to get up the hill....

 I had to throw this one in of Rach. Ha ha!

 Kate didn't love the sledding. She didn't like getting snow in her face and she got sick of the goggles so she resorted to pulling her hat completely over her face so she couldn't see where she was going. Whatever works.

 Rach going off a super sweet jump.

 So then Kate decided to just run down the hill and ride the "hippo" back up. That was her favorite.

 Josh and the one ear-flap...

 Running down again...

 Okay, so I usually don't purposefully post embarrassing pictures of me on here but this one was too good to pass up. Josh kept putting his hands down and it was squirting snow directly into my face. Right here I was yelling "Josh! Pick up your hands!!" Ha ha!

 The Hippo.....it makes sledding SO much easier.

 The big kids wanted to do a train. It started out really nice looking like this....

 After about 5 seconds it would look like this....

 I'm in love!

 Will didn't really like sledding either. But he did love sitting on this sled if it wasn't going down the hill.

Ow ow!

 He especially loved sitting on that sled if daddy was slowly pulling it around.

 Here's the train again.

 Then Trav and Rachel tried out the snow shoes.

We ended up only staying one night instead of the planned two because there was a big storm on the way. I could have stayed much longer! The kids all slept in the basement and hung out down there so the grown ups could chat more. We always love it at the cabin!
