Alaska = Winter Wonderland Bliss

On Christmas night we joyfully flew up to Alaska. We had a premonition that the trip would be fantastic when all three kids fell asleep on take off....and remained asleep. We had wonderful, unforgettable week.  The kids adore their cousins and from the moment they see each other it is fun central. There are many stories to tell....that I have a feeling we will be telling in our golden years...but the thing I loved the most was just having the time to hang out. We didn't necessarily do a lot, which was the best part of the trip, because we were all together. My sister and I can talk for hours...and that is what we did. The snow was beautiful and we got to biking, running and hiking in it. Frances tried skiing for the first time...which was HILARIOUS...and Mark even got some runs in. Overall, it was the perfect way to end 2011.
