This past weekend we arranged for Mark's whole family to come up to one of our favorite places on earth: The Van Eps Family Cabin on Shadow Mountain Lake! It was a Christmas/thank you for watching our kids so much present for Mark's parents! We are so fortunate not to have to pay for day care for our children. So we try to do little things to thank Barb for the time and love she gives to our children each week!
And we could think of nothing better than a family getaway to the mountains in this beautiful log cabin home that our friend D.J.'s Dad built! The Van Eps have been life long family friends to Mark's family and we have had the pleasure of spending weekends away with our friends in this incredible space! And now it was time to make more memories there!
The kids had a blast playing in the loft and the "secret room"...really they just had fun playing everywhere! As long as they were together!
And we had some great outdoor fun too!
Mark got to go skiing with his siblings and had fun teaching Brad and Wes how to snowboard!
I just love these family photos that we took!
We had a relaxing weekend away, laughed a lot, ate well, and just had fun being together!

It was a GREAT time. Thanks for including us!
Glad you had a wonderful time. I have so many wonderful memories of the family trips Ken and I were blessed to have with our kids and grandkids. Hope your family continues to make memories...
Looks like a fun weekend!!! By the way Abby how to do you do your photos with the framing and wording? Do you use your iphoto for all of that? I'm still learning all the whistles and bells to my imac.
Abby- sorry for the first comment by me. It says it's from Josh..really it's from me. Didn't realize Josh was logged in. oops!
Emily...I figured out that it was you! I do the photo framing and text in Photobucket and then upload my photos into blogger from there. Here is the link to the tutorial that I used to learn how to do it! I also follow her blog as well! It's fun!
