Twas the night before Christmas 2011

Twas the night before Christmas when all through the lodge crazy things started happening it was quite a hodge podge...


The girls in their jammies became such a sight, with noses like piggies it gave all a good fright. When the boys started dancing all started to gleam but by the end of the dance the poor boys wanted to scream.

But the best part of all was having Grandpa Smith with us there, for this week in the hospital he gave us all quite the scare!


And that my friends in the end of my rhyming attempt. I am sure you are grateful! Christmas Eve was spent up Logan Canyon at the Beaver Creek Lodge. It was so much fun and the Crosbie Clan did such a great job with the festivities. However, plans almost took a drastic turn when about a week prior my Grandpa ended up in the Intensive Care unit at the hospital. It got scary enough that at one point they were not sure he would make it through it. Thankfully he made a miraculous recovery and exceeded even the doctors expectations and by Christmas was well enough to spend the day with us.

For one of the evenings activities each family was given a bag full of candy. You were to build Santa's sleigh using only the things found in the bag. Then each family came up to race their sleigh. So creative!

The daytime was spent playing in the snow. (What little there was of it anyway). It was an absolutely gorgeous day and was actually quite warm. We all had to start shedding our layers!




Caymbree informed us the entire drive up the canyon that she was NOT going to go sledding. According to her the ONLY place she will do it is in G&G back yard. Ok. Whatever. Imagine my shock when she jumped on the tube and squealed with delight the entire way down. Little stinker.




The original plan was to do a little snowmobiling. However, with the little amounts of snow around we decided it was best to just stick close to the lodge and pull the kiddos around on sleds.
