My dad and my grandma looking for moose up marathon road in kenai. we saw an eagle instead



Snowball fights daily--come play!






Santa brought trains and tracks. He is such a happy little joy!


Well, I had a brief hiatas from blogging to enjoy the holidays with family. My dad and gran came up for a visit. My dad played non stop with Julia and John and when he wasn't putting everything into the grandkids he was working on the house or our car. We were really spoilt! Gran did amazingly well and kept up with us all as the days meandered with no routine and am million things happening at once. I took way too many pictures and so have just chosen a few to post. The weather was incredibly warm, it hovered just above freezing for their time with us. It made it perfect because we could play outside without being too cold. One of the days we went ice fishing (something I had always wanted to do). It was a blast. Everytime I put in my hook I caught a lil trout. I threw them back because I am holding out for a huge halibut this summer! We really loved having company for the holidays. Now taking bookings for the summer ...see ya soon!

Begining to look a LOT like Christmas



We have had lovely snows this week. I am really enjoying the view. It is stunningly beautiful. The thermometer is at -3 F this afternoon. We are making the trek to Anchorage tomorrow to collect my dad and gran from the airport. We are very excited and glad to have family around for Christmas.



These are prawn eggs that actually tasted pretty good. William somehow makes me try everything. He ate so many I thought he would get sick, but he has a stomach made of steel. (I ate this one cracker since I am not as hardy as him).



That face is so funny!
It's the I am two and you are not going to make me wear this outfit. He actually told me "No, It's TOO cute momma!" When did he get old enough to not want to be too cute anymore.





A picture from the day Julia did her school Christmas play.



Our sweet little elf...






Julia's wrote her own letter to Santa this year.





More snow.






Today we made gingerbread houses with my friend Shelley and her daughter Aurora




We had a great time!
