Family Pic (minus Dan)

Last minute, we remembered we hadn't taken a family picture at the cabin. Dan had already left for work, so we decided we'd Photoshop him in later! (But I don't have Photoshop on this computer, so use your imagination.) After several tries we got a good one.

Vomit-ville

About 1/2 of the group got infected with the stomach bug. Megan started it before everyone got here, Jeremy had it Christmas Eve, Jayden got it the day after Christmas, and then Granna, Grandpa, Jeff, Grandma, Karlie, and Scott have had it since we got home from the cabin. It's made for some interesting times...

Cookies

We wanted to make Christmas cookies with the kids, but we didn't want the mess. Thank goodness for the new pre-made, rolled out sugar cookie dough! It was perfect for the 'under one' crowd. They loved cutting out cookies, but they also loved poking the dough, eating the dough, throwing the dough, etc. We didn't even TRY to frost or decorate them...we're not that ambitious!!

Traditional Christmas Morning Picture

Every year, Dad makes us line up on the stairs before we run in to see what Santa brought. Thank goodness the cabin had stairs for us to line up on; we wouldn't want to disappoint Dad! If our family grows much more, we're going to have to find a bigger flight of stairs...

Baby Karah

We all got several chances to love all over baby Karah. She is such a precious baby. It's easy to get caught up holding her because she's good, happy baby. Grandpa really loved holding her because she'd snuggle down on him.

Princesses

Daddy brought Megan's "tackle box", and she got princess shoes for Christmas, so it was Princess World around the cabin. Megan really wanted everyone to wear Princess accessories. Rylee was the victim most of the time, but they sure had fun!

Christmas Day

Playing in the snow

Not long after we arrived at the cabin, the boys were dressed and outside in the snow. They found a great sled trail on the side of the cabin. The little kids went down the driveway...it was a little safer. Aunt Lisa and Uncle Jeff made a snowman on the back patio, and the kids got to go meet him.

Shopping for an army

This was our second trip...our Walmart grocery cart looked like this too!

The Story Behind Sundance

Back in August/September, we "ideated" getting together for Christmas in a condo or cabin somewhere - ALL of the Reinbolds. We had a cabin booked in Heber City, but the owner turned around and rented it out from underneath us....with only 6 weeks left until Christmas. A miracle happened and a nice guy and his sister agreed to rent out their family cabin in Sundance. By planes, trains, and automobiles, we gathered on December 22nd for 5 full days of fun and excitement. Thus somewhat over 1000 pictures and video were taken, hundreds of pounds of food consumed, and several hours of sleep lost! Enjoy!
