Christmas in Washington!

Our little family decided to make a trip to Chelan, WA for Christmas this year.  It's a tiny little town right on the Chelan Lake.  We had a lot of fun!!  There are a lot of pictures, so I've broken them up into a few differerent posts. 


This was the view from our window when we arrived at about 3 in the morning.  So beautiful!!
This is how Autumn decided to spend most of our week there - she wasn't very excited about the snow and the cold.
The view the next morning after the fog had burned off

Our home for the week - it was actually very nice.  It had 2 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a full kitchen, a deck and a dining room.  Just what we needed!

The boys went out to play in the snow and make friends with the other boys outside first chance they got.

They made a couple of really fun snow forts and had snowball fights.

Of course, we had to visit Santa in Chelan, too - how does he get around so much?!?

As soon as we let them, the boys headed to the hot tub.

They are CRAZY!!!

Getting back in after putting their feet in the cold pool.

After a long day out in the cold, the boys got to open their Christmas Eve pajamas, we read their new Christmas books and Colin crashed.  Colin and Zach got Phineus and Ferb pajamas and Keegan got Madagascar pj's.

Keegan and Zach stayed up quite a bit later

Parry got new Grinch pajama bottoms

Autumn got some penguin pajamas, but wore her jacket so we couldn't see them!

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
With hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there


The rush for the stockings!

Keegan got a tool bench with lots of power tools

After a day of fun and presents, we all sit down to a yummy Christmas dinner.

We had a wonderful Christmas Day with our family and are so blessed that we have each other.
