Happy Birthday Izzy!

We made it home just in time to celebrate Isabelle's birthday! The kids had a great time at her pirate themed 3rd birthday.

Ellanie and Sienna
The kids dug for gold and other treasures!
And got all kinds of goodies from the pinata.
They loved walking the plank!
And playing with all the photo booth props.
We all had a great time and Happy Birthday Izzy! We will see you at the park.

Day 4

We got a little more snow play in before heading home in the afternoon.

So sad to see it end but definitely look forward to the next vacation!!

Day 3

The grandparents all offered to watch the kids at the cabin while we all went for a morning hike. It was such a nice day out and we ended it with margaritas and lunch! It was so nice and the kids had a great time playing with all their new toys!

In the afternoon a few of us went into town to go shopping and walk around.
We blew some bubbles and got some treats
And the rest of the evening was spent playing games and having more amazing food!!!
This time spent together was worth a million!!

Day 2

Everyone was up and ready early to go inter tubing. The kids sled a few times in the backyard while we got all our stuff ready.

We were so lucky that it was an extremely warm day so we really didn't need jackets or hats.
We got there when they opened so we beat some of the crowd.
The kids had so much fun tubing!!
It didn't take long before we moved on from the baby hill to the big slope!
After a few hours of sledding we tried out the toboggan.
It was such a fun day! Followed by games, jacuzzi and amazing food!!

Day 1 of Big Bear

The family decided to rent a big cabin this year in Big Bear and celebrate Christmas up there. It was an unforgettable vacation and holiday!!

Arriving and getting settled in, the cabin was great as it was 6 bedrooms with a jacuzzi and games. It was the perfect place to stay, 5 minutes from town and sledding!
The trip was made extra special by getting to spend it with Uncle Erich and Aunt Melissa! We have not seen them since their wedding in May and loved spending time with them!
When we got in the kids made some paper snowflakes...
Played games...
and more games...
And then we went in the backyard to check out the snow!
The place was great because it had a hill in the backyard that was perfect for sledding down.
The kids really liked the sledding!!
We went in for a great dinner prepared by Uncle Chris!
And then it was time for presents :)
The kids are so blessed to get so many nice gifts and they loved opening and playing with all of their new things while being up there. It worked out perfectly to have all kinds of new toys up there!

Ellanie loves her dolls or babies as she calls them.
Logan loves all his new cars, tools, books, toys. All of us our so grateful!!
It was off to bed after that, it was a late night but so much fun!
