Snow Day...well kind of!

Guy, Mackenzie & I were lucky enough to get to spend 3 nights up at our family cabin in Huntington Lake! Thanks again Unce Tom & Neicie for letting us be part of the building process from start to finish!!! And thanks Mom & Dad for helping build this amazing cabin! Mackenzie has put in more hours than Guy & I, so we get to reap the benefits now! We had such a wonderful time relaxing as a family and just enjoying the cabin in it's natural setting! Our friends Bryan & Tishka joined us on Friday afternoon to hang out and play games...then they had to head home late that evening. On Saturday the Schwebach family came up to visit! We love hanging out with Dan & Tiff! The triplets and Sophie wanted to see some snow, and besides a few piles on the side of the road, it was pretty much snowless! So we treked over to Sierra Summit and found the man made hill of snow to play in! The kids had so much fun and they were more than satisfied with the man made snow. I convinced them to all eat the snow, just make sure it's white!!! No yellow or dirty snow! We took pictures of their family and they were nice enough to take a few of us...so I am currently putting together our Christmas card...I know you are anxiously awaiting it's arrival! We really enjoyed our time with Dan, Tiff, Luke, Lily, Kate & Sophie! Thanks guys for making the trip up the hill! Guy BBQ'd TriTip and we had a very nice dinner with Jeff, Karen & Brooke who live across the street from the cabin. We really enjoyed their company and Mackenzie had a blast playing with Brooke! Bryan & Tishka drove back up on Saturday evening just in time for dessert and more games. Guy & I taught them Cribbage and they taught us Hand & Foot, a really fun card game! At about 2am we finally headed to bed...Sunday morning came quite fast! We made breakfast and started the cleaning process of laundry and vaccuming. By early afternoon, the girls (Mackenzie, Tishka & I) headed down the hill. The boys were a few hours behind us! It was such a fun weekend and we are so thankful to be able to have the cabin in our family! Can't wait to go back!
