Leavenworth

We enjoyed some family time in Leavenworth, Washington over the Christmas break.  
 The amount of snow that we saw was incredible - the locals hadn't seen this much snow in one big storm in years!  Look on each side of the road - it was higher than the van!

We enjoyed
sledding
shopping
swimming
snowball fights
and the beauty of the scenery :)
Enjoy the pictures!

A bit of air time...

 an old-fashioned toboggan ride - thanks, Auntie Krista, for lending us this one!
 some flying snow...
 sleeping without moving - sledding is hard work :)
 The beautiful lodge from where our sleigh ride began

 Gorgeous snow scenery
 Here comes the sleigh!
 A chuckwagon stop for apple cider
 Visiting a retired sleigh horse, 'Buddy'
 The town was beautifully decorated - by day

and by night

Of course, a stop at this doll store was enjoyed by all 3 of us girls :)
And a few more pictures of the lights :)



A wonderful time together :)  One more sledding post to come soon, hopefully.
