Fun on the Mountain

 Here are just a couple pictures for our very fun-filled 36 hours with our cousins in Park City this weekend.

Valuable Time

 Given how much work Hubby and I returned to, I have to remember how valuable our trip was (and it was!)

Long Weekend, Long Trip

 We just got home from a long trip over a long weekend.  We went 3150 miles in 5 days with our 6 kids.  Events included dinner with family in St. Louis, a day and dinner with family in Michigan, a wedding in Michigan, a family reunion and birthday fish fry in Michigan.

It feels good to be home.  And it will feel even better to sleep in a bed tonight instead of our suburban while Hubby drives cross country.

Here are a couple of favorite pictures:

More pictures and stories from the trip coming another day.

Sanden Family Fun

 We had a wonderful week of family fun with my parents and brother and his girlfriend leading up to Thanksgiving.

Fun included a birthday celebration in Vail, dinner out with just the adults (cocktails in our new camper), and trampoline time, and ice skating.

Oh what fun!

... I just realized I already posted a lot of this information and these pictures a few days ago... well, here they are again.

Such Joy

 The past week has been filled with so much fun and such joy!

The kids and I have had days off from school and work, Hubby has had a few days off from work, and my family has been visiting.  We have taken advantage of the chance to do some fun and seasonal activities while we had more people, extra help, and the chance to do fun things together as as family.

Then, we said goodbye to my brother and his girlfriend, and my parents and the kids, Hubby, and I spent time preparing Thanksgiving food, chopping down a Christmas tree and decorating for Christmas.
