Wow, can it really be? A brand new year ahead…I swear 2009 was the fastest year I can recall. Here’s to hoping 2010 brings loads of happiness and peace to us all.
To celebrate the new year, we drove up to McCall and spent the weekend with my family at the cabin. As I have mentioned before, the cabin is one of my most favorite places and what better way to welcome in the new decade than a with a little winter wonderland fun from the Budell/Rutz/Caster clan?
We arrived Thursday morning to lots of snow already on the ground. Yippy! And if that weren’t enough, it started snowing HUGE flakes around lunch time and didn’t stop for about a day. Pretty, pretty winter fun.
We all enjoyed sledding down the drive and the boys helped Drake build his very own snowman. To top off the outside fun, Alexa (Rutz’s lab) and Chloe (our doggy) played and played until Chloe was a frozen snowball herself.
After all our play we came inside and sported our team jerseys for our annual tournament of games. This year the Saloonatics brought home the win. Maybe next year will be the City Slickers year?
The rest of the weekend we relaxed, drank, ate played in the snow and just plain enjoyed ourselves. Thanks guys for a great start to 2010!
