Thanks Bert and Heidi! Merry Christmas!

What better way to start off Christmas than in Utah's Winter Wonderland with good peeps!  Our good friends, the Casales, rented a cabin for the holiday and invited us and a few others up for a fun night of games, movies, dinner and laughs.  We had such a fun time!  Thank you again!
Those Crazy Kids!!!!  They swam in the hot tub then ran around outside in the fresh snow!  Crazy Blake!  This photo was taken from within the warm confines of the cabin.
Sarah and Leah.  It was a beautiful cabin!  Have we mentioned "Thanks" yet?!
Caught napping on the job!
Sean Ricks showing off his Ping Pong skills (And Sweet Sweater)!
Along with the Casales and Trospers, the Ricks and McBrides came along for the fun.  Glen is hilarious pretty much 24/7.  He was even more funny when we played this game "Curses".
Robert cooked us a pretty darn good prime rib dinner (The prime rib is buried in that mound of crusted salt pile)
Heidi showing us how to parent...you have to trust her, their kids turned out pretty good.
Rob overseeing the sledding activities
Hallie and Brinkley showing the slope who is boss!
Tonya McBride with the official Winter Olympic sledding technique.
Blake Cruising!

There's that crazy Canadian...er...American again!

We played a game called Curses, which gives you curses that you have to maintain for the duration of the game.  They then give you tasks to do.  In the first task, Sean is cursed with not being able to bend his arms, ad having to talk like he is on a CB radio while Rob is cursed to act like he is in an earthquake whenever Sean speaks, but whenever Rob speaks, he has to act like a gorilla.  In the second video, Heidi has to do dance moves while playing her air guitar and talks with her teeth clenched.  This game is fun, but quickly gets old.  Sarah thinks Rob and Heidi are going to kill me for posting these.   

We are so blessed with great families, fantastic friends and an amazing ward.  Thanks you guys for a good time!  Merry Christmas!

What a beautiful cabin! I'm not sure it's like any cabin I've been to.

It was really fun to get to meet more of your friends at the shower. They are really neat people.

I'm sure they will forgive you for posting the videos. But they were great!

I love silly moments. It's the best when you can have a good laugh. Great pictures. We're hoping to go to a cabin in Jan. It's fun to get away. :) Looks like you had a very blessed Christmas. BTW, your wife is very beautiful! As Stew would say....you married up. LOL
