Notice Jean's eyes.  The yellow one is blind!  This is at Carlsbad Caverns.

Jean, Jan & Edith on Mt. Bonnell overlooking the Colorado River.

AT THE CABIN (I am still learning - see heading at the bottom)

The kids love the legos.

Kim made donuts.  Of course she had plenty of help.  Luckily I remembered we needed a rolling pin before Jani came up.  We sent word with Uncle Brent.  

Lining up for the ride down.  Chase is getting the snow out of his hat.  Jani rode the turbo sled and passed them all.  We had to send the turbo sled first so no one got injured.

We had two snowmobiles taking kids up the road to sled back down.

AT THE CABIN

This is how we get in and out.  Sometimes we have broken eggs and smashed tomatoes.

New Year's Eve

The kids love the penny game - only we used nickles this year.  Jenna won it for the second time.  The Edwards have yet to win.  We play a pass the present game, questions game, have a pinyata, confetti and fireworks.  We do it early so the little ones will still be awake.  Then we have all the pop (a tradition from when our kids were younger) and treats while we play games.

Jenna & Kaycee love to make confetti by coloring paper and running it through the shredder.  I may not give them so much paper next year!

Christmas

Trevor & Chase with new toys.

Josh, Ty and Ethan reading a Christmas story waiting to open gifts.

Arim loves Grandpa's Hogwarts train.  So does Grandpa (but it doesn't compare to a baby grand)!

Gingerbread Houses

We had two large tables with people and candy.  

The finished product of the girls - we need those girls in Kentucky!

Another view of the girls. They loved making gingerbread houses. Most of them had never seen snow before.

At the Cabin with Visitors

Thanksgiving fun!

This is the punkinmaze. The kids like the slide more than the maze.

Ty and Josh going down the slide.

Jani always does a Halloween party. This year she did it at the cabin. The kids (big & little) loved playing the can game which our kids used to play at Causey.

She always gives them Halloween cereal for dinner.
