Blad Christmas!

The first weekend in December we always go to the family cabin for our Blad Christmas party. While we were there the dads all took the kids ice fishing.

They had fun and caught some fish too!


The kids came back and made gingerbread houses.

Dakota and Brielles creations
After the gingerbread houses we went out to the sledding hill 



Even Madison loved going down the hill



After we went sledding we came inside and had hot chocolate and the kids made ornaments to decorate the tree.

Cadence, Christian, Dakota, and Brielle
The kids each bring a gift for a gift exchange


We had a nice Christmas dinner that was really yummy, even Maddy thought so!



The adults did funny white elephant this is Mike trying on his lepord print diaper and his doctor mask



Each year the girls do a craft exchange, we each make 5 crafts and keep what we are making a secret until we get to the cabin. When we get to the cabin we give each person one of our crafts and then we all get to come home with 5 new super cute crafts! This noel sign was Sharons.

Melanie did the hot pads

Shanette made this Birthday book



Stacia made this set of cards

And Dave's girlfriend Angela made these serving utensils with beads

We have so much fun every year, we look forward to going again next year!

Oh my goodness I can't believe how crafty you all are!!! I would love any of those:) What was yours? That's such a good idea I might have to implement it into my family.
