Every year Jason's family gets together, either for Thanksgiving or Christmas. They rent a place and we all go and hang out. This year we went to the Victor/Driggs area and rented a cabin there.
Jason's Dad is buried in the Darby cemetery not far from where our cabin was.
The first day there we took a trip to visit his grave.
Then Jason hooked up some sleds to the back of the car.
The kids took turns flying around the cemetary. We had a ton of fun, some of us adults even tried it.
It was so funny to watch, Jason's dad would have enjoyed it. He would have laughed very hard. It is difficult for all of us not having him there.
Dillon and Josh are best friend cousins. When they are together it is like they only have one brain.
They kept trying all sorts of stunts and falling off. It got to the point we wouldn't even stop if they fell off, they had to run and jump back on.
We blazed quite the trail around the cemetery. No one was going to get stuck visiting there loved ones graves. Well, I may have gotten stuck, but just once.
At the cabin we ate, played games.....
watched movies, soaked in the hot tub and we slept a little too.
We had gorgious whether while we were there. Beckett and I went for a walk.
We went cross country skiing which was awesome. I had never tried it before and found it was actually quite a bit like my nordic trec.
The kids went sleding.
This I did not try.
Possibly because it went from this.
To this.
We had a good time. It was nice to be able to spend time as a family. It was relaxing for me after such a hectic Christmas. I am thankful for Jason's wonderful family. I am grateful that they get together so often and could not ask for better people in my life!

Nice posts. Looks like it was a very nice Christmas break for your family. Fun times in the snow. Good choice on the sledding. I did it a couple years ago and bruised my tailbone something fierce when the sled came out from under me.
That does look like a fun time. I like the part about driving around the cemetery especially. I bet Jason's dad would indeed have loved it.
That sledding on the hill looked trecherous!
Wise decision to leave it to the younger ones.
Glad you got some down time after the hectic ness of your Christmas.
