This has been a fantastic week with Rachel’s family. On Wednesday (Christmas Eve) we went up to their uncle Steve’s cabin on Strawberry Reservoir. To get into the cabin we had to take snow machines up the road for about four and a half miles since everything was snowed in. Kelly, Brandon, and I took a load of gear up first, and then we returned for the rest of the people. Rachel and Eva got to ride in on a trailer that we hooked to the back of the machine. At first we were worried that Eva would hate it and scream the whole way, but instead the exact opposite was true; soon after the machine started she fell asleep and slept the whole way in despite the bumpy trail.
Once at the cabin we had a great time! It was so much fun just having everyone together and we played a lot of games, played in the snow, and played on the snow machines. Actually, the word “play” could pretty well sum up this entire week for us. On Christmas morning we all opened presents and watched “The Grinch.” We made Eva a Build-a-Bear with a little personalized message from Mom and Dad that she became instantly attached to. Rubbing her face in its tummy and giggling provides no end to gleeful fun for her!
Basically, we had a fantastic Christmas and it was hard to leave the cabin when the time finally came. We were there until Sunday afternoon and enjoyed every second of it. There really is nothing quite like being with family for the holidays.
Stay tuned...Rachel will post some picture of our cabin stay.
