We got to spend another fabulous Christmas at the cabin this last year! We wondered if there was going to be any snow up there since we hadn't had any down in the valley, but there was just enough:) We went up on the 22nd(my 30th birthday) and got to spend a relaxing 5 days that were full of all things Christmas! Including traditions of Christmas jammies, eating way too much on Christmas eve, gift exchanges, Luke 2, and so much more! I love that we have this blessing to be able to go and make these wonderful memories. Especially for my kids! They look forward to the cabin almost as much as any holiday! They love going and spending time with Luke and Maddy and all the other cousins!
Poor Nemmy woke up Christmas morning and didn't feel good, so she laid down on Matt's lap and went back to sleep. She is obviously not mine because I have always been one of the first ones up on Christmas morning:) But after she got some more shut eye in, she was up and ready to open presents! Little Miss Halle is the 5th grandchild on my side to have her first Christmas up there.
My parents spoiled all of us and at the same time helped all of us remember what is important and I am so grateful for them and their example!
We had a fantastic time and will cherish these memories always!
