New Years Cabin Trip

Working for the government have it's perks and a four day weekend over New Years happened to be one of them this year. So I foolishly mentioned to Charles that it was too bad we couldn't just run up to the cabin like we usually would in the summer time. And he says to me..."well, we can"! What was I thinking even bringing it up!

So we spent a mostly happy weekend at the cabin with no water, (not super surprising, we know that our well lines aren't deep enough to bring water to the house, so we prepared and brought water with us) But something happened with the heat so we also spent the whole weekend without heat in the house. We stayed very close to the fire and all slept in the same bed!!! It was fun though to see Audrey play in the snow and get to have some us time away from everything here. It is nice to get to do that every once in a while. I did opt to come home a night early however and Charles was a champ to put up with my complaining. In my defense.....a "quick trip" out of town is never as much at ease for a mother as it is for a man. There are so many things to do that they just don't understand. Hopefully that never deters us from actually doing them, it would just be nice if men understood!

AT FIRST SHE WASN'T QUITE SURE ABOUT THE SNOW

THIS IS PRETTY OVERWHELMING FOR SUCH A LITTLE PERSON AFTER ALL

BUT ONCE SHE GOT THE HANG OF BEATING UP HER DAD IN THE SNOW. SHE LOVED IT!

ETHAN STAYED PRETTY COZY TOO! ACTUALLY I THINK IT WAS COLDER IN THE HOUSE THAN OUT IN THE NICE SUN!

RINGING IN THE NEW YEAR!
