Yes, It's Christmas Eve, and I'm waiting for my kids to go
to bed!!!!!!! They're all watching a movie and it's 10:00 p.m.! No Christmas stories anymore, or tucking them in so Santa can come, but we are still having fun. My daughter is actually making the traditional monkey bread for Christmas breakfast, so I got a break on that chore!Anyway, thought I would share some pics from a family 50th anniversary trip we just got back from. My husband's parents wanted to spend time with their kids and grandkids, instead of having a reception to celebrate, so 32 members of the family spent 3 days in Crested Butte together! Besides skiing during the day, there were awesome ice sculptures to see, snow tubing, and fun shopping in downtown. We booked the entire hostel for our group. The kids thoroughly enjoyed spending time with their grandparents and cousins. Each family was responsible for cooking a meal for the group. Every night we played games! We had our own worship service Sunday, and had a talent show Monday night, along with a wedding "roast" and powerpoint presentation of 50 years of pictures. It was about the best thing we have EVER done as a family!

That sounds like so much fun!
How special! I will have to hear more about this family staying at the hostel thing...I want to know how you found it and if you liked it...
My youth minister brother-in-law found the hostel, and he called all over the place looking and said this was the only one like it. We loved it. We rented the whole place and it had a huge living room and kitchen and one room on the first floor (Dan's folks stayed in that one so they wouldn't have to climb the stairs). The rest of us were upstairs in rooms that had double beds and bunk beds and a large women's and men's restroom. It was excellent, but not really a bargain. We did save a ton of $$ making all our own meals - letting each family be responsible for one.
