Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and the days after...

We spent Christmas with the Ray family at a cabin at Bear Lake, in Northern Utah. Because there were so many snow storms, our group was not as large as we had originally expected. One of the best things about this weekend was the time we got to spend with our new family members. Below is a picture of our new nephews, Tommy and Tyson. Their Mom, Raquel, is marrying Brian, my oldest brother. It was a great time to bond!Ben and Lori, and Dan and Ashley brought Their Wii. We had some good DDR goin' on (check the video bar)!
Tyson and Adam getting excited for Santa!
Charlie eating Santa's cookies!
Grandma and Papa-pie enjoying Charlie and Adam.
Tyson, Charlie, and Tommy waiting on Christmas morning to see if Santa came!
Tyson and Tommy....ready to go!
Santa brought Charie his "go-racer"! We decided it was a good thing that Santa came on Christmas Eve, not Christmas night! (For Charlie's sake!) 
Adam loved his monkey ball! Isn't Santa fun!


The wrapping paper was the most fun for Adam!
We did some sledding the day after Christmas. It was so cold that we were probably only outside for a half an hour! Seriously, it was SO cold!
This picture was taken the morning we left the cabin. You can almost see Bear Lake in the right corner. My regret is that we didn't take a picture the day before when the sky was clear! On the day we left everything was white, including the sky! This is the most beautiful blue lake! I'm sorry you can't see it!
Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Ray! We had a wonderful Christmas! It was fun being "snowed in"!

SOOOOOO jealous. LOVE Bear Lake. I have only been there twice now with Cody's fam, but I would love to go again sometime to just hang out and not have family stuff. I am thinkin this summer, Bear Lake, kids, beach, water, relax. What do you think? It would be fun.
