We are off to British Columbia, Canada! My family and I have been taking this Christmas vacation to Canada for 22 years now. It's been such a wonderful tradition to carry into our own kids life. Oma and Opa rent the 'Bear Haus' near a ski hill called Red Mountain. There we gather as a family and play!
First night Oma gave the grandchildren matching PJ's
Pinklicisious Girls!
Polar Bear Boys
The snow was scarce this year but there's always enough to go sledding. And we had a perfect hill to sled with all the kids just behind the house.
Auntie Jenny and Ethan ready for a ride.
Dad and Silas cool as the snow
Opa giving Anna, Silas and Nora a push for a fast ride
Opa always there to tow the kids up the hill. (You can see the house down below and the breathtaking views was epic this year! We actually saw the sun most days.)
Opa and his boys playing with Legos. Jonas has discovered Legos about a year ago but just about 4 months ago he can't get enough of them. One morning, Jonas played with his Legos that he received from Christmas for 4 1/2 hours. We had to drag him away and entice him with cinnamon rolls.
Ethan and Silas staying far enough away from each other but still enjoying each other's presence.
Oma designing a gingerbread house with Silas and Titus.
Auntie Morgan brought out her art supplies for the kids to enjoy. Jonas and Titus really made some beautiful and creative art.
Hot tubbing was a daily activity to loosen up muscles or for the kids to splash and play.
The snow was so wet that making snowball forts, snowmen, and snowballs was perfect.
Dancing in the kitchen was such a highlight of our evenings. We all took turns making dinners and cleaning up. Music gets people to move and groove. Jenny, Paige, and Jesse
Off to the aquatic center, a family tradition!
Ethan and Silas keeping it low!
20 Robinson members in the pool having a ball!
The uncles making the kids scream was a riot! What a blast!
The cousins
Silas' 1st try at skiing! He was stoked to put on Jonas' ski gear and ride the magic carpet.
And we are off...Silas cruising the bunny hill just like that. I'm hoping to get him up 1 or 2 more times this year. I think watching Jonas he will catch on fast...just like everything else.
Auntie Morgan put in Beauty and the Beast for the kids while the grownups could have some adult time and visit. They all piled on the pool table with their new Pillow Pet and enjoyed.
The best night of it all was the Wii dancing nights! What a workout in disguise and a laughing moment for many of us.
As you see in the video, Jonas just does his own thing. So cute!
