Big Bear weekend

We just returned from a nice relaxing weekend spent at a cabin in the snowy mountains of Big Bear. The weather was absolutely gorgeous - several feet of snow still on the ground from the last storm yet daytime temps reaching the 50's made it more than comfortable to be out playing in the snow without a heavy coat. The kids had a blast making and throwing snowballs and sledding. Jake, Jadyn and their cousin Aidan all enjoyed several trips down the slopes and Jadyn even decided she wanted to go down by herself backwards, giggling all the way. We spent the evenings cozied up by the fire, watching movies and spending time with Joe's parents and his sister's family and Joe and I took a dip in the hot tub on the back deck overlooking the snow capped forest. It was an amazing time and something we hope to make a yearly tradition. Here are so pics from the weekend:
Here is a pic of cabin where we stayed:
