12.25.10 ~ Christmas Morning ...

This year, we spent a wonderful Christmas vacation with extended family at Nate's grandma's cabin, in Lava Hot Springs, Idaho. This cabin was absolutely magical ... secluded away from everything, no internet, low cell phone service, one TV, etc. I loved spending time with family, playing card games, making crafts, decorating the Christmas tree, reading, and sitting by the fire as it snowed outside. Like I said ... magical. Here are a few pictures from the trip ...

Connor loved sitting and climbing on Nana Hayes' rocking chair ...

This Christmas tree was made with lots of homemade crafts and lots of love ...

Grandpa and Grandma Jorgensen ...

Nate's sisters ... Aislinn, Kristen, and Hanah - Connor loves his aunties ...

Connor loved his gifts from Santa, Mom and Dad, and other extended family members! He kind of got the whole idea of "unwrapping gifts," with a little help from us ...


It was wonderful that Nate could be there too. He was able to fly in from New York for a few days and I'm glad he got to spend Christmas with us and his extended family...

Merry Christmas!
