Christmas at Island Park
This year for the second time we went to Island Park for several days over Christmas, with my parents, and little brother Alex! It was a lot of fun (they get a lot of snow :). On Christmas Eve day we made the 4 hour drive up. We sang Christmas songs and enjoyed the snowy drive through a winter wonderland! It does not get better then that seriously! So we arrived to our cabin, and put Christmas lights up outside on the deck and all over inside, and of course we brought a tree :). You get your own personal hot tub out on the deck, which we used everyday. We watch Christmas movies, did some sledding, ate lots of fabulous food, and enjoyed watching the snow come down in heaps! On Christmas day alone we got 3 feet of snow! A Christmas Eve tradition at my house growing up was this... My dad goes outside some were and hides the baby Jesus in a manger. He also would hide the 3 wise men. So at each figure he would put some Christmas lights by them, and tell the story as we went a long. Then when we came to the baby Jesus we would sing some songs. I love this tradition, so my dad did the same thing at Island Park (only the baby Jesus was covered in a lot of snow by the time we found him :). Sorry this is going to be a very long post with pictures, I hope you enjoy! I also hope you all had a Merry Christmas!

That is a lot of snow!!!! Wow. How fun though. My grandparents used to have a cabin in Island Park on Bill's island I think (right on a lake). We used to LOVE going there, and I miss it.
I love the pictures of your girls outside all bundled up. So cute!
Holy Mole that's some snow! What a winter wonderland. And inside looked so beautiful with the lights around it. Glad you guys were able to go there safe and sound. Oh, and I think that Rachels naked body looks more like yours than Nates (not that I remember seeing either of you bare, that is)!
I love it!! And yah wow! lots of snow! Craziness! There was def no snow here in cali! I love the cabin and the tree with all the pretty presents! how cute your dad still does find the baby jesus! Alex looks great! I'm glad you had a great Christmas! Happy New year!
Looks like you guys had a wonderful christmas! I am so glad! WOW! That is a ton of snow. What a magical place.
Love the snow! And I really want a cup of hot chocolate that looks like that! In true aunt Cindy style (and Lauren style), everything is always so classy, beautiful, and looks so inviting. Even when you spend Christmas in a cabin that isn't your own! You guys are amazing!
Looks like you guys had a great Christmas!! I can't believe all the snow that you guys got!!!
You are so dang talented and the girls are so dang cute! I cannot believe how big they both are. I wish we were neighbors! :> I would come over and pick your brain and hope you rubbed off on me!
