It was fabulous...fresh wintery mountain air, snow, lots and lots of food, movies, apple cider and great company. The whole "travel with all ingrediants for Thanksgiving...including a 20lb turkey (Rachel-ha)" was total insanity. Delicious, comical, and ridicuous! I don't suggest it. I think next time we do this....it's pizza, or stew, or anything else-ha!

The kids has so much fun playing in the snow, making snowmen, throwing snowballs, watching movies, playing games, throwing rocks and sticks in the river, and just running around like maniacs.

It was really sweet...when Asher had to do his breathing treatments Sammie would go sit with him. So adorable. On the way home Sammie told me, "Mommy, you know why I sat with Asher? So his Mommy and Daddy could sit with you and he woudn't be lonely". What a girl.

I do have to say that my favorite memories were taking the kids down to the icy river/pond and watching the line of ducks waddle in, snuggling in front of the fire with apple cider, seeing the bundled up cuties in their snow gear, and when the daddies took the kiddos for hikes so Rachel and I could have time to chat, shower, and shop at the little antique shop. So many good memories. Can't wait to do it again.

The drive home was kind of wild. Huge snowstorm, accidents, road closures and 8 hours to get home! The kids did shockingly well, so that was awesome. Never a dull moment. It was kind of fun driving home in the snow and getting covered in snowflakes ever time we stopped.
