Cody, Wyoming–White Christmas

My husband’s family cabin is the perfect place to celebrate Christmas.  It’s tucked away from the world and you can almost always expect snow for Christmas.  We were not disappointed when we made our way there again this year.

In addition to the winter wonderland, we were surrounded by family.  Ryan’s grandparents, Bill and Lola McRann, made the 2-4 hour trip, along with Ryan’s parents Matt and Sheree, and his sister Kira and her family (Kris, Evie, and Styer).  It was cozy and warm and wonderful.

There were a pile of gifts for everyone and I got to play Santa, passing the presents out to all the good girls and boys.  Evie enjoyed unwrapping the presents almost as much as she enjoyed playing with them afterwards.

Sheree always spoils everyone with one amazing meal after another.  She made prime rib for Christmas dinner.  It was quite the feast.  Luckily I wore my sweat pants!

And they'll feast!

Deck the halls!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

After dinner we played a fierce game of Widow’s Poker.  Although I had a good helper, Kira won (as usual).  It was the perfect way to end a perfect day.

Evie, we gave it our best shot.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
