The day after Christmas, we packed up to head off to La Grande. We were in charge of the Waite Family party this year, so we had some prep to do before hand. It was snowy, but the roads were relatively clear, thank goodness for that!
However, when we got to LG, there had been a lot of snow and we waited int he car for Garry and Dad to clear a path to the front door for us.
Then Garry continued to enjoy that snow blower dad got. Way too much fun for a Desert boy.
We met up with Ella and enjoyed visiting and games.
The Waite family party was the next day and even though it is dwindling in numbers as the cousins get older and more spread out, we still had about 94 family members there.
Cynjyn, Ella and Tanner left for a bit to do a photo shoot, with Tanner as the photographer and came back with Cynjyn's prize token...a giant icicle she had found.

Family!
Adrienne decides to join us.
Sometime during our short stay in LG, Ky found time to give us some hair cuts...Annalyn,
Cynjyn got bangs...
And I got a little trim.
We managed to take a drive up by Marley Creek, but Dad wouldn't drive down the lane because there was too much snow. We saw a lot of deer, but no elk.
even though we drove to their summer meadow. They move to lower ground in the winter!
It was still beautiful though.
Ky finally made our sugar cookies for us for our trip home. We took our time leaving Friday from LG.
We drove back to Boise,
and took off early Saturday morning, beautiful day, no road problems and an easy trip home.
