Lodge 2012

 We had the best time at the lodge this year!!  We had to pack the car in the middle of a blizzard, and headed out the next morning in some pretty nasty driving conditions.  I won't lie, the trip was awful.  We had to drive about 20 mph almost all the way to Little Rock which took FOREVER!!  The roads were in really bad shape, and I spent the entire trip tensed up praying that no one lost control and hit us.  We saw plenty of wrecks and it is a miracle we arrived in Oklahoma without a scratch!
We reserved a new lodge this year, and it was the best place ever!! It had huge rooms, and every family's room had their own full bathroom as well.  It was perfect!!
The kids had so much fun playing with their cousins for the next few days. 
 The kids spent the majority of their time outside in the snow.  They made forts, had snowball fights, and just played to their hearts content.  These Texas and Arkansas kids don't get snow like this often, so they loved it!
 My sweet Tyson loving the snow.
 Mimi helped the kids make their Santa sacks for their gifts.  We have so many traditions at the lodge, and the kids look forward to all the activities.
 My favorite part was relaxing!!  This was the first year my kids have been old enough to wander in and out of the house and play, and me not worry about them getting lost in the woods!!  The boys stayed with the cousins and enjoyed their freedom to come and go as the pleased. 
The boys were so excited to open their stocking stuffers! 
 Can you tell how excited Tyson is??!
 Me and my sweet sisters-in-law.  I love these ladies!!
The whole crew together.  We had a great few days sleeping, eating, playing, and catching up.  There was lots of game playing (Silas and I are the Foosball champions!!) and fun.  The snow made it magical and it was such a break from the everyday hustle and bustle of regular life.  Thankfully, the snow was melting by the time we left and the drive home was easy breezy.  It was a fantastic trip and the boys are already excited and looking forward to next year's trip:)
