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!

Merry Christmas!

This year we are so excited to be celebrating Christmas in Big Bear with the family but because of schedules we left the next morning. So we spent Christmas morning at Grandma's house.

Logan's facial expression when he saw his police car! He was so excited!
All the gifts got taken up to Big Bear except the huge police car and life size doll house..lol
We all filled up on mimosa's, crapes and fruit. It was so good!!
And the kids had their own little table, SO CUTE!
Taking the car for a test drive
Then we went to feed the ducks with Grandma, Uncle Erich and Aunt Melissa at Central Park. We were all so excited to spend some time with Uncle Erich and Aunt Melissa and so glad they were able to make it to Big Bear!
The kids spent some time at the playground, swinging and playing in the sand.
It was a perfect day and the perfect start to an unforgettable week!
