Christmas at the Cabin

We did it!  We finally had Christmas at the cabin!  

We weren't sure if we would even make it up as there was at least a foot of snow on the roads.  However with 4 wheel drive and chains on all tires, we made it...barely.   The truck finally got stuck right at the foot of our driveway.

While we trudged up the driveway and into the cabin, Scott worked on blowing the driveway.  I worked on getting the hot tub ready and the boys were all about the snow.

It started to snow shortly after we arrived and didn't stop until Monday morning.  It was absolutely gorgeous.

While I stayed cosily inside drinking hot chocolate, working on a puzzle and getting into the hot tub, the boys spent a lot time sledding and playing in the snow.  We don't use our front steps in the winter as they are steep and treacherous, but they are put to good use as a sledding jump!

We don't have a TV up there, but we did let the boys watch Christmas Story on my phone. It's a tradition.

Outdoor fire anyone?

 It snowed so much we weren't sure if we would be able to make it down the mountain on Monday morning.  Thankfully the subdivision snowblower (affectionately called Big Bertha) came to our rescue and blew a path.  She's as old as the hills, but she's got it where it counts. The boys were pretty excited to see her at work.

 It was so nice to have such a peaceful, beautiful, quiet Christmas.  Looking forward to many more.
