Inaugural Cabin Visit - Thanksgiving Weekend

After the Thanksgiving festivities, Vic and I invited some of the family up to the cabin for the weekend. It was a beautiful weekend with a lot of sun, but don't be fooled, it was a very cool high of 20 degrees outside. Most of the weekend was spent lounging around, watching movies, football, or playing games with each other. Notice how everyone seems to be wrapped in blankets? Apparently we didn't crank the heat high enough. What, 64 degrees isn't warm enough? Grandma brought several crafts for Koree to work on. She had picture frames, 3d puzzles and the most exciting gingerbread house. Grandma struggled to keep the roof together, but apparently she worked it out. How fun, they even hung a wreath on the door!

At any given time you could find Grandpa reading his book, Koree playing her Nintendo DS or all of us gathered around the table for a game of UNO or even better, a mean game of Battle of the Sexes. Dan and Elizabeth donated this game to the cabin and it is obviously going to bring many hours of battling. The questions for the boys are along the lines of, "What instrument does a girl use to dry her hair?" Answer: blow dryer. Easy. A question for a girl might be, "Who was the MVP during Super Bowl XXXIV?" Answer: No girl on this planet knows the answer to this question. This game was obviously created by men.

Crazy lady...see, I come by it honestly.
Sibling bonding...We missed you Rach!Ben, Dan and Randy were instrumental this weekend in getting our satellite dish hooked up to the house. Ben especially wins the prize for standing at the top of a ladder in below freezing conditions, at night, to ensure the dish was installed correctly. It was paramount the dish be installed and working since the Utah - BYU football game was on this weekend. It might have been better just to read a book and forget about the game since the Utes fell apart in the end. Thanks anyway guys!!!Elizabeth and Amy doing some girl bonding...
