The Cabin for New Years and Birthdays

We had such a great time up at the cabin. It was great to spend time with the Smylies. The weather was in the 30's at night and 40's during the day. That made it great for walks. There was snow on the ground in places, but you will see that Steven was able to sled on pine needles too. Don went fishing almost every day. We have a lot of trout. Here are some of the pictures that I captured. Every once in a while I asked someone else to take a picture, so you could see that I was on the trip too. My favorite part of our trip was going to Yosemite. That is why I blogged Yosemite in a separate section.

This is a picture of Kevin playing in the snow with Steven. In the picture above we are on the same walk and Don in in short sleeves. Now that is great California weather.

Here is Steve teaching Steven the ins and outs of red vine. Steven caught on real fast!

Here are Katie and Steven doing the peek a boo thing

This is Don's birthday celebration. Steven really got into this. The cake was a no carb brownie created by Laurel. It was "interesting".

Here are some of the reactions to the birthday brownie. We wish you could have joined us.

So here is Steve on his birthday. He got Russian Tea Cakes. Little Steven was helping him blow out the candle. Given the dire economic picture, we used the same candle for Don and Steve. Their birthdays are one day apart.

Here is Steve hanging out with Meg. She is such a cutie.

This is Steven pine needle sledding. He liked this because he didn't have to get wet.
