Playing in the snow at the Cabin and God's beautiful world

The snow this year at the cabin was unreal!! The best sledding snow we had in a while. It was fast and so much fun. We spent a lot of time outside. I would say sometime the littles were unsure but for the most part they loved it. Carlie is the best aunt. She played in the snow a lot with them. It was definitely one of our best Christmas weeks at the Cabin. Photos by Jessie. (she is the best) My Father in Haven is real and he has blessed me with the perfect family for me. I have learned and continual to learn so much from these amazing people in my family. I truly have blessed with a good man by my side. Scott is hard working, kind, forgiving, patient and loves God more then me and that's so important to me. Each one of my children have taught me lessons that I will treasure forever! They too are kind, forgiving, patient and full of love and so fun to be with. I could not be happier with my daughter in-law (everyone knows she is perfect!) and my sons in-laws they are everything I dreamed of for my daughters and could not be more happy with the in-laws.

The boys don't love the PJ tradition as much at the girls so I got them Star Wars Socks. 

Scott read the Legend of Santa Clause for our Christmas Eve night. Then we all shared our favorite Christmas, or most magical Christmas present. Todd's most magical was when he was little he got a wooden train set. He said "It was just what he wanted and he knew that Santa was real and knew who Todd was. Stacy said she never believed in Santa because her dad could never keep a secret. Geoff said going to Australia. Carlie said when she got her Android Cell Phone. Rylie said when she got her doll house furniture and doing a Sub for Santa in Fairview when we drove the snowmobiles down to our car and delivered present to a family in town then saw them the next day at church wearing the cloths and playing with the toys we gave them. We missed Jessie, Jason, Norah, Clayton and Ian. They came up the next day on Christmas Day.

Christmas time is here!

 Clayton is the cuties Elf

1975 Snow Cat 

I went with Jessie to help with Clayton's Preschool Christmas Party on Friday the 18th. We played toss the snowball (large marshmallow) in the wreath. The kids also played a Christmas action game and Christmas bingo. Clayton is such a sweet boy and loves his teacher and preschool. I am lucky to live by Jessie and Jason and be able to help with parties, go to programs and help carpool Clayton to and from School. He loves it when I take him because he can watch a movie in my car. 

This is our snow cat that we drive up to the cabin. We haul all the gifts in and food for a week. I am super excited. Geoff, Stacy,Mekk, Carlie, Scott and I go up today. Todd and Rylie come up tomorrow night because Rylie works today and they are going to spend Christmas day with Todd's family. Jesssie and Jason come Christmas day.   

 I would say one of my most favorite part of Christmas are sending and receiving Christmas Cards. Here is our card this year. I love my family. Each and everyone of them. We have 4 grandchildren and one on the way. Jessie is pragant with number 4. Geoff and Stacy have one. Norah, Clayton and Ian are Jessie's and Mekk is Geoff and Stacy's.
