I think we have our Christmas card picture for next year! This trip to Lake Arrowhead was only so fun because I had my (somewhat) crazy family to spend it with. My parents never fail to make us laugh, my aunt and uncle can cook like no other, and my cousins are well, just complete and utter nut-heads (in the smartest way possible). Also, what better time to talk about my family than on my twin cousins' birthday. Happy 22nd Birthday Elle and Mandy! Aside from the time we spent taking pictures out in the snow, we also had a nice walk down the road and admired all the beautiful winter wonderland houses. They had such a nice cabin-y feel to them, and I just wanted to snuggle up with my wearable blanket (no, it is not a snuggie) and sit by the fireplace, slowly roasting away. However, that fantasy was far from reality as we engaged in a snow fight at the end of this pleasant walk, and I ended up with snow down my shirt (which quickly turned into ice cold water). Oddly enough, I loved every minute of it.
