December NC Trip

In early December we took a week long trip up to our cabin. Charles mother, Ollie, his brother, Robert and his brother's fiancee, Sue, also came down to spend some time with us. We had a great time at the cabin cooking and enjoying the fire pit. Cameron had fun helping Grandma Ollie bake & chasing Uncle Robert around the house. We also spent two days at Cataloochee Ski resort where Cameron skied  for the first time. He really enjoyed it and was actually pretty good for his age. He's already looking forward to his next ski trip.

Ollie pulling Olivia on the sled. I thought for sure she would enjoy it but she didn't, she cried the whole time!

2nd day of skiing

On one of the days we took a ride on the "Santa train" which was the Blue Ridge Mountain train in Blue Ridge, Georgia. The train ride was an hour long and Santa came to visit each child. There was also story time and Christmas carols. It was really cute & I think Cameron enjoyed it. 

Cameron & Rudolph :)

Story time on the train....look at Olivia, so cute!

Cameron & Olivia with Santa. Can't believe Olivia isn't crying!

Charles & Cameron working on the fire pit. Cameron LOVED doing this & wanted to be outside the whole time. Robert was nice enough to saw down a dead tree in the yard so they worked on picking up the pieces & leveling out the ground around the fire pit.

Ollie's neighbor had a yard sale & they let Ollie have any items that didn't sell. So she got some great toys for the kids! This tricycle & Barbie four-wheeler and a remote control truck for Cameron. Also lots of books & games. Here's Cameron & Olivia playing with the toys on the front porch.

Here's a video of Cameron skiing on the 2nd day :)
