We headed up to the lake Thursday, December 30th for an extended weekend of fun with family, friends and the snow. The Murray family, Laura, Gary, Matthew and Andrew along with Jeffe', Robyn and Vayda came to stay to help us ring in the New Year. We got up on New years Eve and headed to the snow, well about 11 am we headed just past Arnold to Blue Lake Springs. We found the perfect spot...the golf course. It was just the right amount of snow and the perfect size hills to sled down. Sydney and Matthew immediately made snow angels in the snow. Hailey was loving every minute and enjoyed taking it all in, such an exciting new experience. Hailey had never been to the snow. We all enjoyed playing on the hills and sledding down. Even Darin, Jeffe' and Gary started to think they were young again and decided to stand on the sled going down the hill, like a snow board. They all bailed several times, it was quite hilarious! We were laughing hysterically even though each of them got up in pain. Why is it we do that? Someone is in pain and we still giggle? The kids attempted to make a snowman but the snow was super light and fluffy and was extremely hard to form. We stayed for 4 hours without even realizing it. We had so much fun! We headed back to the lake and had a yummy New Years Eve Dinner. It was a great day! :)
We went and took pictures with all the "cousins" early this year, first week in November to be exact. I love this picture of my sweet girls. Makes my heart smile! I promise to post more very, very soon! Sorry i kind of fell off for a while. Time is flying.
