Christmas was a snowy day. We had been planning to go up to Andy's parent's for weeks, but when the weather said it was supposed to snow, we weren't sure if we were going to go or not. We kept looking and looking at the weather to see when the best time to leave would be if we were even going to go. We started packing and got ready to go, but still weren't sure if we were going to leave. At 1:00 pm, we thought....let's just go. So we left, and it turned out that we left at the perfect time. Right in between the two big storms of the day. We ended up not seeing one snowflake on the way up. Only just a little bit of rain when we hit Santequin. So we were really blessed and made it up in record time!!
The Crosby's Christmas tradition is to have a yummy Mexican meal and have the kids break a pinata. So that's what we did. It was really fun to see Cari and Phil and their kids, Sunny and Josh, Danny, and Grandma Jeri and Granpa Gary. Cambrie and Kelsi had a blast playing all night, and when it was time for Kelsi to go, Cari and I decided that it would be fun for Kelsi to sleep over! It was Cambrie's first sleepover and it was REALLY fun for her! Those girls would NOT go to bed!! I tried and tried to get them to sleep, and the next minute, I would hear more and more giggling! They stayed up till about 10:30! I finally had to lay down by Cambrie and scratch her back until she was asleep, and Kelsi wasn't too far behind. As you can imagine, they were a little grumpy the next day, and didn't play as well together, but they did have a great time in Grandma Jeri's bath!! One of Cambrie's FAVORITE things to do at Grandma Jeri's house is take a bath in her jetted tub, and play with her seashells!
Not many of my pinata pictures turned out, but here are a couple that aren't WAY blury! This is one of Kelsi taking a turn hitting the pinata.

All the kids scrambling to get the treats inside!
Calina was quite happy that she scored a packet of fruit snacks. She didn't actually eat them, but had a lot of fun playing with the packet.
