Christmas in Washington!


We had a wonderful Christmas vacation at my parent's house in Washington this year. No one got sick, or hurt, everyone slept well, and played well. We had a blast!!! We started things out by riding horses for a little while---this was one of  the only days without snow!

 Then later on Saturday we went on an "eagle cruise" around Lake Coeur d'Alene.  It was amazing! The eagles come down from Alaska and nest at the lake for winter. We saw about 250 eagles in those 2 hours! It was so much fun.

My dad was teaching the kids how to fence. :)  At least they had face masks. They really enjoyed that.

 One of the boys favorite things to do is build a fire with grandpa. :)
 On Monday (Christmas Eve) we woke up to about 6 inches of snow! Beautiful!  It was a white Christmas!
 This girl LOVED the snow! She was the first one out and the last one in every time!

 So we decided to build a snowman. And not just any snowman. It ended up being about 10 feet tall! And my dad made a snowlady for the snowman. :)




 So--Adam is 6'5" so you can really see how tall these snowpeople are!
 Merry Christmas!!!!! The kiddos waited until 7:00 to come upstairs. Thanks guys.
 Merry Christmas mom and dad!
 Captain Underpants!! hahaha
 I love Liv's face!
 Ashton was so excited to get his remote control helicopter. Aaron got one too.
Hopefully this video of the eagles works. It was such an amazing thing to see.


It was a wonderful Christmas full of beautiful memories.

Oh my gosh that looked fabulous. Jesse and I were so sad we couldn't come! The eagles looked awesome and so did that 6 inches of snow for Christmas! Thanks for sharing these!
