A couple of months ago my sister and her husband made the decision to move to Texas. They would be leaving right after Christmas. Then we found out that my youngest brother Paul got a job in Wisconsin and would be leaving after Christmas as well. It became really important to me that we have one last Christmas (for awhile at least) all under one roof. My parents rented a log cabin out in Sunriver and we made preparations for three whole days in the snow.
WAY too much stuff for just three days!
We listened to Christmas music, made ornaments, ate way too much and played lots.
The kids spent hours outside in the snow.
After sledding the kids would jump into the hot tub, and then hit the snow again, in their swimsuits!! I was watching from upstairs and could not stop laughing.
All eight grandkids!
Briella was watching David on the Ipad and totally fell asleep.
David designed this sweet logo and Ben silk-screened a shirt for everybody one night.
The shirt says "The miraculous and festive Christmas Camp for Bradys and those who love them." The moon represents my dad and the sun, my mom. The stars are the eight grandkids and the trees represent the six kids. It also says "Perfectly Imperfect" at the bottom.
David and Bethany hosted a cooking show when they made some puppy chow. And the girls opened a dessert store with all the goodies that we brought with us. We had to wait until they were open to get anything but the service was the best!
The whole family, minus Michael who couldn't make it at the last minute.

What's with all the guys in beards and stubble? A shaving-free weekend, or everyone wants to look like an edgy movie star.
