We spent Saturday 22nd to Monday December 24th at a cute cabin up in the mountains with NANA and PAPA COLE!! Gretchen had a blast ! It took us 5 hours total to get from our house to the cabin (with snow conditions ) which on the way home took us 3 and half! Gretchen slept an hour on the way up the mountain--we did put chains on and had to drive 35 mph ---Gretchen entertained herself and was singing all the Christmas songs she had learned and then started yelling "TIGGER WHERE ARE YOU" (this is a scene in the snow on the Tigger video) We were laughing so hard---that is pretty addicted to you video when you start acting like Tigger and Pooh!! Praise the Lord we made it safe to the cabin and it was beautiful with all the snow!! At points I was squeezing "puppy" so hard--good thing "G" did not know! She had bear! Then asked for puppy half way up the hill--so mommy traded her! Ha!! The next morning mommy and Gretchie went out in the snow to build a snowman--the snow was powdery! BUMMER!! Mommy was more upset than "G" so we went on a winter walk through the snow!! Daddy forgot his boots! Gretchen took a nap and then watched Heffalump with Papa. We ate dinner and opened gifts---We emptied a big plastic yellow tub and filled it with bubble bath and let her go swimming! It was more like playing --we pretended int was a boat! She did not want to get out---- We came home right after breakfast on Monday morning and started the trip with chains as it was snowing all morning---We soon took them off after we hit bare pavement and blue skies!!! The mountain pass was snowing and had an acculumation of 88 inches at the top!! We did make it without chains and kept driving one mile at a time! Daddy is a great driver!! Gretchen did not sleep all the way home. As we came out of the mountains there was NO SNOW even on the sideof the highway!!! Merry Christmas !!
