Christmas: Take Four ~the cabin

For as long as I can remember, on Christmas morning we would all wake up, see what Santa brought us and then we would head to the cabin until we had to go back to school. Now that I'm older, I don't have the luxury of being up there for a week and a half to snowmobile, sled, and overall.. just play in the snow and not worry about anything.. Sadly, we have to work, take care of our dogs and have at home responsibilities. Oh the joys of having to grow up! ;) But at least my little family and I can head over for a day or two and see my Dad and Step-mom and enjoy a little fun in the snow.

Ryan, the girls and I, got up Saturday morning and headed over the pass. We got there about noon and immediately Payton, Ryan, Rosie, my sister-in-law Tracy and our nephew's Aspen and Trent headed out to sled.

Afterwards, they all headed home and we got ready for dinner.
