Party of the year!

For Millie's 14th birthday, she wanted to have a party at the cabin. It worked our perfect because her birthday fell on Human Right's day so they were out of school on Monday. We filled up 3 cars and hauled 15 girls up to the cabin Sunday evening. They got in the hot tub, ate treats, watched movies, played video games, and pretty much stayed up all night.  You know, doing what teenage girls do best. It so happens that Clegg's were at the other cabin so Tyler joined in on the fun too!  Millie's friends thought he was SO CUTE so he was an added bonus to the fun!

 The next day was all play all day:

 Everyone had a blast!  They talked about this party for days!  I'm so glad that Millie has so many friends who are not only darling but really good to her.  They are so kind and funny!

Playing "what if?" in the loft at 2 a.m.

 

The next day after school, some friends "kidnapped" her and went to Orange Leaf for frozen yogurt.

Again, such cute kids!  It's too bad that Millie isn't loved at all ;)

Christmas 2013

We spent Christmas at the cabin for the 2nd year in a row!

Last year was wonderful so we wanted to do it again.  

Grandpa wins the prize for getting the best Christmas present this year...a hot tub from Grandma and the rest of us.  We have been putting money in a pot for a few years and we finally did it!  It faces the river and mountains so it is very nice and relaxing. Thumbs up :)

 At the top of Quinny's Christmas list was a "Flippee," an animal hat. She got a kitty hat with a tail that flips up when she squeezes the pink part. Q loves anything that involves animals.  Will was so happy to get a new remote control helicopter.  Those things are so cool and he is a good pilot!

 There was plenty of snow for snowmobiling and sledding. BS got sassy on the old Summit catching some sweet air haha!

 More gifts included "Beats" by Dre, some ultra tech headphones (all 4 kids got them, but only so BS and I could use them), bike ramps, pedicure & shelac set, go-carts, iPad, air-soft guns, skis & ski gear, a Joke Box for Will, games, ...

Here, we are eating at Taggarts, one of our favorite Morgan spots after the boys spent the day hunting for rabbits and coyotes.  They got skunked but had fun anyway!

 What would a week at the cabin be without good food?  Millie kept busy in the kitchen baking up delicious goodies with Grandpa and Grandma and giving mani's and pedi's. The boys stayed busy playing with their new games and toys and having air-soft wars with the big boys.

It was another perfect holiday week and we feel very blessed for wonderful family and an awesome place to spend Christmas! <3 nbsp="" p="">

Here we are on the drive home.  Quincy LOVES her new "Seat belt Pet!"

These kids are the best travelers ever!  Always have been!  I guess when you travel a ton they don't know any different.  We feel very blessed to be able to travel to so many places so often!
