Christmas and Cabin







It sure was a fun Christmas! Quinn and Emilee and Gary came down and stayed at our house Christmas Eve. I didn't get to bed until 1:00 am, but it was so nice to talk and Quinn helped me fill up the stockings. Garrett called me at 6:00 am to wish us Merry Christmas and we later called him back and passsed the phone around. Christmas morning Devonn, Carla, James and Andrew joined us and we all opened presents, around 5:00 Amanda, Daniel and Kaydance her daughter and Skyler her niece came over and we had dinner and they opened presents then around 7:00 Micah, Catie and Dylan came over and visited and opened gifts. It was a memorable Christmas, with everyone getting along so well. Quinn went home that evening around 9:00 and Friday morning Emilee and gary took Jazmine with them, she gets to stay until Tuesday. Blaine and I ran off to the cabin for my birthday. There was about 3 feet of fresh powder snow and we had to shovel snow to get into the cabin. It was a 18 degrees outside and the water pipes were frozen, We finally got water in the front bathroom and the toilet worked so we were fine. We warmed up the cabin nicely with the fireplace and propane heater, we ate our sub sandwiches and watched a DVD. In the morning we had our egg muffins and Blaine hung up my coat rack for all of my snow suits, we cleaned up and refilled the wood box. It was so beautiful with all of the snow in the trees, of course I forgot my camera, :( We had a great time and when we went home Blaine took me out to La Mina for my Birthday dinner, after dinner Devonn and Carla and the boys came over and then my mom came and gave me my gifts. I had a great day!
