Christmas in Alaska

Whenever we would mention our destination for Christmas people would question, "Alaska!? Really? Why would you go to Alaska in the winter?" Our answer: "Grandma and Grandpa live there." The next question that usually followed was something like what is there to do there in the winter. Well the answer is plenty.
You could go sledding.




You could build snow forts in your backyard.


If it gets too cold outside you could ask Grandpa to take you to a jump zone.

You could hang out with your family.






If you get a little "cabin fever" you could always go back outside and jump in the jacuzzi.



You could dance at a family wedding.

Dump Kevin in the snow (a favorite past time)

So there you have it, Alaska in the winter. We had tons of fun playing and hanging out with family. The kids have been begging us to move there after Dental school. We tell them we'll move just about anywhere we are offered a good job. Although living next to these guys would be lots of fun.

Looked like a wonderful vacation. Dad especially thought the jacuzzi looked inviting. I would like to hear more about 'dumping Kevin in the snow' Sounds like it happened more than once. The family picture is beautiful, although Josh looks a little lonely. I'm sure he'll be finding a woman soon enough.
Love to all, Mom & Dad

Yeah I totally didn't make sense in that last sentence. Let's NOT wait 2 1/2 - 3 years to see each other again, is what I meant to say.

Christmas in Alaska looks wonderful! If it wasn't so far from all of our kids, I think I'd like to try living there!
