Fun in the Snow!

We just returned from five days with my family for our annual, post-Christmas vacation up at the cabin at Priest Lake.  Once again, we were blessed with several feet of snow which provided for hours of outside fun for everyone.  As always, I barely saw Lia the entire time as she was so busy playing with her cousins and Ron, Logan, and I had a pretty good time ourselves.  It's always such a treat to be up there in that winter wonderland!

I just had to snap this picture during our drive to the cabin of Logan trying to drink his water and suck on his pacifier all at the same time.  Now that is what I call multi-tasking!

Lia breaking in the snow on our first morning there!

Logan also checking out the "no" for the first time.  He sure loved playing outside!

My two, cute kiddos.

Lia hanging out with all of her girl cousins who she adores!

Such a cutie!

I just love this picture of my mom sitting on her sled.

One morning, the older cousins headed down to the dock for their annual, polar bear plunge.  For the first time ever, all of them actually jumped in!

All of the kids jumping in with Brynn and Kelsey in the lead.

As always, Lia enjoyed many hours on the catwalk with the triplets making blanket forts and playing with their stuffed animals.

The girls swinging their stuffed animals out and over the great room.

Sarah and Callie reading to Logan.  Oh, how this boy loves books and anyone who will read to him!

As the week went by, Lia became braver and started sledding down the hill in front of the cabin.  Here sh is about to go!

Flying down the hill!

And doing it again!

All of the girls playing on the stairs.

Logan and Trenton beginning to play with each other.  It's hard to believe that in another year of two, these little guys will be inseparable.

One morning, Ron and I went outside just with Logan to sled down our neighbor's driveway over and over again.  Logan was so cute and would say, "Weeeee," every time we went down the hill and would then ask for another "ride" whenever we reached the bottom.

He would always lay very still and patiently each time we pulled him back to the top of the hill.

The triplets working on building, "Olaf," the snowman from the new Disney movie, Frozen.

All twelve of the grandkids lined up in a row on our last full day there!

The wonderful grandparents that make this all possible!  We sure do love you!
