Cabin Fun

After Christmas we packed up the car, loaded the new bobsked on the roof, and headed to the cabin.

Grandmother & Papa were sad to say Bye to Milo when it was time for him to head over the Richards for his own fun adventures.

The BR2 car came up later, once Boston was off work, but when we got to winter parking, Dad & Kay were off helping a stranded  cabin man. Seems like every winter trip to the cabin we are either helping others become un-stuck or others are helping us become un-stuck. I guess it comes with the territory.


They did eventually make it to us.

Lins and Jer did Korean BBQ bowls for us


Boston jumping off the deck

Followed by Brenna jumping off the deck

Spencer & Emily making snow angels

Puzzle time

Kanoodle & movie time

Trying to get the aux to connect with Amazon Prime Videos.  We were really wanting to watch Lego Batman, but we could only get the picture and no sound; or the sound and no picture. No Bueno.

Time to shovel off the deck

Puzzle complete!

Russell was a trooper in all the snow



Packing up

Obligatory 'door pic' to remind us of all the awesome people we had up with us this week.

Christ is the Reason for the Season

Today we celebrated Christmas - both the birth and life of our Savior Jesus Christ.  
It is He who has taught us about the true joys and giving and the true joys of receiving. 
We remember Him and his gift of everlasting joy and peace that comes to us through His love and inifinite atonement. There was lots of  joy  this morning as we were able to give and receive gifts that are fun and meaninful to those we love.
