jarom’s company put up everyone in a room at devil’s thumb ranch…a most amazing ranch in the middle of ski country.  absolutely gorgeous!  since we have four kids, more than everyone else, they paid for us to have our own little cabin for the night.  too cool…felt like little house on the prairie.  the heat came through the floors, we had one small sized room which was the kitchen and living room, two bedrooms, and a bathroom.  it was great, my kind-of camping!  the company paid for the game room for the night for the kids, which had it’s own little bowling alley, and other games to play, plus pizza and movies for them.  and then they had a really nice, elegant buffet in a huge rustic room with a fireplace for the adults’ dinner.

after all the festivities, we headed back to our cute cabin.  we love to play mexican train with the kids, we play it all the time, and it made it’s way to our cabin’s table, while we played multiple times while drinking our hot cocoa and eating treats.  we slept in the next morning, and loaded up and headed back home.  it was too cold to shoot the bows and arrows we brought, or to go sledding…you can see in one pic it was -20 degrees!  that was a first for me and the girls!  nevertheless, it was cozy and fun.  thanks trace 3!
