The second annual trip to Oklahoma to stay at the lodge for Christmas was a huge success! 18 people in one cabin for 4 days! We had such a good time visiting family and celebrating the holiday together. The weather was awesome and we got to spend lots of time outside this year, which was perfect for the boys. They ran and played so hard every day with all their cousins:)
We spent the days eating, playing games, talking, and eating some more. That buffet table of snacks was the death of me for sure!! Some favorite games from this year included 42 (all the men played the whole time!), Qwirkle, spades, and Wits and Wagers. We kept the games going the whole time, and it is fun now that some of the older kids can join in too:)
We attended the same small church we went to last year, and they remembered us! I guess a group of 18 is hard to forget when your congregation isn't that big:) Tyson had a ball running outside and shooting Nerf guns with the older cousins, and Jace tried so hard to keep up in general! We did our bonfire again with a hot dog roast and s'mores, and had a wonderful Christmas lunch on Monday.
The kids had fun decorating their sacks for the stocking stuffers and opening their gifts. We also added in a Bingo night with prizes which was fun too:) Top that off with an evening soak in the hot tub, snacks, snacks and more snacks, and lots of visiting, and we had a great time all around. The boys were excellent travelers this trip, in fact the best trip we have ever taken! I even managed to get one run in while we were there. It was a killer 3.5 mile route of HUGE hills, but it was fun:) I sure am glad Ellen went with me (we were a little nervous about bears!). All in all it was a great 4 days for sure. We sure do appreciate our family and love spending time together and making these special memories.
