I know it's February and I'm just now posting pictures of Christmas.  Maybe by Easter I'll post Lola's birthday pictures. We had a "surprise" visit from my parents for Christmas.  The kids were so excited and it was difficult keeping it a secret.  We had a great time playing games, cooking, eating, doing some sightseeing and playing with the kids.  So thankful they made the trip up to spend Christmas with us!!!

 Grandpa and Ella waiting to board the boat to the North Pole to see Santa.  The kids enjoy doing this so I guess we'll make it an annual tradition.

 Here is Reagan skiing at Lookout Pass.  She has no fear and loves going fast!

My parents went up with us to watch the kids ski and look after Ella.  When we were standing here for the picture someone walked by and thought we were the ski school.   Lola is now off the harness and thinks the chairlift is like an amusement park ride. 

 All of us after Christmas Eve service 

 Lola and grandma decorating Christmas cookies.  Afterward we went to look at lights

My parents, Lola and Logan at the Coeur d' Alene Resort (golf course) with the floating green behind them.

We went to see the eagles at Higgins Point...unfortunately this day we didn't see as many as we have in the past but it's still amazing to see them in the wild. 

 After the taking the boat to the North Pole to see Santa we went to dinner where the kids 

got to make their own pizzas. 

All six of us..and no one blinked!
