Waiting for food is hard.

OUTSIDE! We braved the literal wind blowing cold weather elements to venture into the outdoor pool…which was not heated as warm as we expected!

Xanna’s view from the balcony! That good idea of ours to escape the not warm pool and head to the hot tub was foiled because it was COLD! And then the kids stayed up till 11:30pm pretending to be pet hamsters because it turns out polar bear plunges do indeed release endorphins. Fun Fact: Meryl named her hamster self Rolly and Holmes named himself…Sweetie. Kids.

…it is to ride in a two horse open sleigh, hey!

Can you believe each one of these horses (Doug and Roman) weigh 2,200 pounds? That’s a car weight each! They also each eat 50 lbs of food…a day. A hot to trot finale to our trip!

Real live professional dancers are awe inspiring, topped with a cool set design, and Meryl humming along to the songs:)

Fans making fans and ladies on pointe!

Family Calendar peaking before Christmas!

Holmes got lucky that assembly was required!

She did go to cooking camp after all. We’re reminded of this often:)

May the gift of sleep and rest be given to us all!

Tis the snow season!
