January Cabin Trip

Our January trip to the cabin was the first time my parents were able to go with us! It was so nice to have them with us and I hope for many more trips with them now that they are retired!

 

My dad was a huge help cutting firewood with his chainsaw and of course Cameron loved helping.

 

Cutting more wood

 

 

Our neighbors have ducks and chickens and Olivia loves to play with them and hold them. They have 4 children and Cameron and Olivia always look forward to seeing them while we are at the cabin

 

Cameron and Olivia were even able to celebrate the birthday of Emma, our neighbor, while we were there. (Emma is in the pink at the end of the table.)

 

 

Hot tub fun

 

 

We took Cameron & Olivia skiing one day. They both did really well!

 

 

Magic carpet ride!

Had to build a snowman :)

 

We had a nice picnic lunch on the slopes :)

We had a nice New Years Eve dinner with our neighbors, Mike and Angela, and their two children and then set off some fireworks outside before going to the downtown square in Ocala to watch the big fireworks.

 

Ready for the loud fireworks, lol

On the bike trails. Olivia is now able to ride on the trails; its so nice to be able to ride as a family!

 

 

She rides like a pro! Everyone is always impressed to see how well she rides.

 

 

Here's Cameron on a bike built for a 12 year old and riding the extreme course!



Christmas Day 2014

We spent Christmas in Panama City Beach at my sisters house. We had such a wonderful time with my parents, my 2 sisters and their families, my grandmother,  my aunt Becky and Uncle Greg and two cousins Graham and Gretchen. Such great memories were made!

We went to the Christmas service at Church at the Springs a few nights before Christmas.

We arrived in Panama City about 6pm on Christmas Eve, just in time to have some family fun & get the kids ready for bed. Here's some silliness with Popeye, Emmett & Cameron

Loved the nightly family chats after the kids were in bed

Christmas morning craziness! Santa brought Olivia a basket for her guinea pig and a picture of a guinea pig for her to pick out when she gets back home

Cameron's gift from Santa, a wall decal of Charles in his racecar

Legos

Matching bicycle shirts

Using their walkie talkies, lol

Heather's beautiful Christmas tree. Her house was decorated like a model home, so beautiful!  

My sister's boys all got scooters for Christmas & couldn't wait to try them out!

My sister Becky arrived Christmas morning with her husband & Grace. Everyone was so excited to see Grace, especially Olivia!

Olivia loved helping the adults open their presents :)

Got a little chilly on the porch, lol! We got a kick out of them all bundled up.

Two sweet girls!

Beach fun the day after Christmas

The Bowling family, so special to have them in FL for Christmas!

More evening family chat time :)

We also celebrated my dads retirement while in Panama City at a fun bar & grill. 

We are so excited for him!

The Ambrose Family

They had a great band & we all enjoyed dancing 

Happy Retirement Dad!
