To Utah for Christmas

I really, really wanted to be home for Christmas this year. Santa coming to our roof top, Tage come down our stairs, presents under our tree, playing at our home. But it's not all that easy when you have a separated family. With compromises galore we decided to have Christmas at the cabin in Fairview. It is only a couple hours south from our families, so I thought it would be best of both worlds.....our own Christmas, but having family too.

Well, it didn't end up that way.

On our way up to be with family for a few days before Christmas, we decided to stop at the cabin to drop everything off and spend one night there. But when we got to the cabin and there was more snow than we expected. We ended up having to park the truck at the bottom of the hill by the gate and hike up to the cabin. We hauled up our bags for one night and started a fire to keep warm.

After getting the truck stuck twice and the 4-wheeler with the plow on front stuck twice, we decided that maybe our plan for our wilderness family Christmas was probably out.

So Plan A was: To have a quiet, wilderness family Christmas. Cut down our own tree and decorate it with popcorn and cranberries. And drink lots and lots of hot chocolate.

Onto Plan B......

I just wanted to throw in a picture of Zeusie Moosie. He loved the snow!
