Cabin Trip and Christmas Memories

Well, Thursday my friend and I went to my family cabin with my family of course. Although my parents and my sister had gone up earlier that day. My cabin is up in Fairview canyon(kind of by camp Shalom). I know I need to get some pictures, but my sister borrowed my camera but had her memory card in there. So that won't do me any good. So we may have to wait until next March to get some cabin pictures in there. Sorry. But anyway, we had a good night. We watched the Series of Unfortunate events. Wierd movie. Anyway, Friday about 10:30AM my brother Samm and sister-in-law Ammy came up and we enjoyed a day of riding the fourwheelers (taught my friend how to fourwheel. She did very well.), reading (which at the moment I am reading "The Crimson Frost" very good book and I don't read that much), slept, ate and laughed a lot. That night we played "Phase Odd". My dad and I aren't really that into card games and such. I'll play them more than he will, but it's rare for me. But I got sucked into this game and because Phase ten is a very long game my dad dubs new rules such as we play the odd numbers. So, we played that then we watched "What About Bob?" Very funny movie. Each night we went to bed about 10:00 because it gets so dark early and we all are thinking it's about midnight and we're so tired that we just crash at 10:00.
The next morning we got up. My friend and I went fourwheeling again. Saw a lot of people dressed in orange because it's deer hunting season I think. Then we left about 2:00pm.
That cabin is great I love it.

Other thoughts....
So, I'm going to write a little more about myself. Um. I love river rafting. My favorite place to go is Jackson Hole/Snake River. I love camping up there. We camp on the road in between Alpine and Jackson Wyoming. Other rivers I have done are the Salmon River in Idaho, West Water (which I think is part of the Green River) in Southern Utah, the Green River-Green River Utah, and I think that's about it.
I also like to hike and be out doors. I've been on a lot of hikes. I've been to Stuart Falls several times, Timp Cave, the Narrows, the Subway, the Saddle on Timp., and several others. I enjoy hiking but I'm not very good at it. :)
I don't really have a favorite holiday. I do like the fall holidays where there are leaves everywhere with the decorations. I love Christmas time with the trees nad the music and the lights and just everything.
A Christmas memory I have is being at the cabin. We enjoy going to my cabin for Christmas. We go up Christmas eve. We used to cut a small tree by the cabin that we didn't need any more. We would bring it in dad would set it up. We would make home made ornaments with glitter and construction paper. We would make a paper chain and put it around the Christmas tree.
We would watch a movie that my grandparents would send up. We would play games and eat some treats. My mom would read a Christmas story. We would make our own version of the Christmas bible story. Sometimes we would get a little silly. We always got to open one present and it would be pjs. We would get dressed in those. Then we would sing a few carols and go to bed. When we were little of course it was very hard to get to sleep. Epecially being at the cabin. We always wondered if Santa would make it to the cabin and know where we were. He always seemed to.
It was always fun times at the cabin when we spent Christmas up there. :)
