Alan and Pam and their family stayed with us for Christmas break again this year. We always have so much fun with them. This year we went sledding, ice skating, swimming, stayed up really late, ate lots of food and played lots of games. We made some colored water for the kids to play with out back while they were bored one day.
Andrew is one amazing cousin pulling my lazy bones kids up the hill. Poor Ella only made it down once or twice before 3 boys on a sled wiped her out. Knocked her flat on her back and the wind right out of her. Poor kid! She crawled in the car where Lincoln and Dustin were sleeping and joined their sleeping party.
I enjoyed sledding with the kids and having some hot chocolate afterward. Most years it's me in the car with the babies cause Dustin's pulling the kids up on the four wheeler but we didn't take it this year and it was A-ok! We had a blast. It was about -6 degrees that day when we left the hill.
I was pleasantly surprised how amazingly well my girls could ice skate. A tiny bit of help getting them going and they were off! They loved this probably more than any other activity we did through the holiday.
On our last day we all drove to Lava Hot Springs for some swimming. On our way home we stopped at Chuck a Rama for a last dinner before we all went our different ways and got back to reality. My kids obviously enjoyed the dessert bar!
Lincoln made friends with Andrew. ha!
What awesome memories! So thankful for great family!
