Christmas At Estes Park

WOW - what an early celebration for Christmas!!  But we were all excited to head to the YMCA at Estes Park like we've done for the last couple of years!  This year we were happy to get the 2 newer cabins that we had looked at last year!  How nice it was to have a dishwasher and plug ins where your cord didn't fall out!

After we unpacked, the kids wanted to go roller skating so we headed over to the roller rink!  Gary had built a device for Gwyn to use as she likes to keep up with her brother and sister!  She LOVED it and skated for a couple of hours - what a trooper!!!

 All of the buildings were decorated so pretty and it was fun to see them all lit up at night!

Unfortunately, their computer system crashed and never got fixed the entire time we were there!  It made for some super spotty internet at the cabins!

We let Gwyn open up a game from us that evening so she would have something to do!

We also had Kenzie open up her gift from us which was money to spend at the "craft" building the next morning- she picked out a larger and a small elephant to paint and a beaded snowflake to make! 

The other kids did a little painting too - what a fun time!

Isn't she cute painting her little airplane?

The rest of the gang arrived Friday afternoon and got all settled into their cabin! The guys picked up pizza for dinner so it was quick and easy!!  Our type of meal!!

We always celebrate Kenzie's birthday on Friday night - she loved her presents and we all enjoyed eating the delicious chocolate cake!!

Back at our cabin, Jessi and Glenn got hooked on a jigsaw puzzle and worked late putting it together!    I believe they actually finished it the next day and then started on another!!

The boys slept in our cabin this year - Glenn and I got the master so we had Gwyn on the floor with us and Gary and Jessi had the other bedroom!  It was a great cabin and worked out well as it was basically just steps from the other one!!  Next up - our Christmas celebration!!
