Snow + Family = Perfect Memories

I have been looking forward to this past week for months and I can't believe that it not only met my expectations but far exceeded them!  My sister, Mandy, her husband, John, and their amazing children, David, Emma, Lila, and Caden, came with us up to the cabin in Midway for a week of snow-filled fun!  We partied day and night and it was so much fun to be together.  We had so much snow up there and did a little snowmobiling and lots of sledding.  Hot chocolate always followed our snow adventures.  We also brought up Rock Band and I was more than delighted that my more-mature sister thinks it's just as fun as I do!  Putting our kids to bed was quite an ordeal, as you can imagine, with them all being together and excited by such a novel experience!  So most nights ended up with we four adults rewarding ourselves with a Rock Band party and lots of goodies down in the basement!  We didn't get much sleep... but seriously, who needs sleep when you're having that much fun?  One day we decided to patronize the darling small-town outdoor ice-skating rink.  I was thinking that it was worth a try even though my kids would probably both get frustrated and tantrum.  Boy, was I ever wrong!  Alex took to the ice like a little polar bear and didn't want to leave!  Rory had fun too, but it's kinda back-straining to hold a toddler up so her ice skates can touch the ice as you tow her around.  I haven't up-loaded any pictures yet but they are soon to come!
