My Grandparents know how to throw a party

Grandpa & Grandma

For the second year in a row my grandparents have rented rooms in a hotel for the WHOLE family and it is an absolute blast. We get to the hotel go swimming, eat pizza, play the white elephant game and then things get really fun and hillarious!! On one side of the banquet room rock band was going with JD, Scott, Jasen and Colby taking turns doing duets and solos on the microphone. In the middle there was card games and board games going on. On the other side my Dad, Mike Martin, Mike Harvey, all the sisters and Christy and Mike went to town with the Karaoke machine singing and dancing. Not everyone had the greatest singing voice but it was a lot of fun. I even ended off the night at 2 am by kicking some trash at Ticket to Ride.
The next morning we went swimming again, Tyler absolutely loves the water. Then headed to Cottonwood park for some sledding action. We ended the whole thing with lunch at my grandparents house and my grandma made her homemade bread which is soooo good. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for all the fun memories you have made in my life. Your the Best!!

Right before going to the hotel we made a quick trip to my parents house for some fun behind the 4-wheeler!!

Ty is in there somewhere, he loved being dragged around in his little sled watching everyone fall off the sled behind the 4-wheeler.
Yee-haa
Kaden loves being towed behind the four wheeler. One time he ended up with a face full of snow jumped up and got back on the sled.
Kaden and Jaxson chicken fighting at the hotel swimming pool
Tyler loved playing with the bubbles in the hot tub
I don't know if Ty got more chocolate in his mouth or on his face!!
