This year it would be great if we all brought any extra hats, gloves, scarves, mittens, snow pants, etc. to loan to Katelyn and Eli to use as snow gear.

Gramma Cassie and Grampa Dick will be bringing their sled, anyone else bringing one?

Any ideas for games or other activities? Katie and Dustin can bring dominoes and twister.

Mom and Dick are getting the tree permits on Friday for us all, $5 per family (max 2 trees/permit)! Thanks!!!

The plan is- Mom and Dick are going up early on Friday to scout for us- we are hoping to cut (or dig up) the trees in a snow-less area to be easier on the kiddos, and save the wet and cold snow-play for next to the cabin. That way we can get warm and dry and drink cocoa when we want to!

We heard that Santa might pay a visit to the cabin!!!!!!!!!!!!! Does anyone have a smallish Christmas tree they could bring??--from Cassie & Richard
-We have a small one - meaning about 9 inches tall....too small probably.... -kt

P.S. We have lots of extra hats & gloves we will bring for the little people -- Then we can toss all in the dryer for the next round of fun in the snow! Be sure to bring extra camera batteries (and camcorders!)- from G'ma Cassie

P.S. I like the BIG FAT SALAD aka THE Elaine! But do we ladies have to show our ANGST??? - from ?
