A White Christmas

This weekend Evelyn and I joined David and his scouts at Brother Spute's cabin in Hunington. When we got there Fridday night there wasn't any snow so the boys cooked up a delicious dinner and we played some games; mafia, balderdash, and sardines. The boys also played Lord of the Rings Risk until around 3am but Dave, Evelyn, and I were fast asleep by then.


When we woke up the next morning we found that it had snowed and we suited up and headed out to play.


This was Evelyn's first time in the snow.



She really enjoyed sledding


Infact, she did really well in the cold, until her mitten fell off and she realized that she is not a fan of direct skin contact with snow.






Isn't she CUTE!!













If we were sending out Christmas cards this year this is the picture we would have used, but since we are not......

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!



Evelyn was a very happy girl until we apperently stayed two minutes too long and she had had enough. So we headed back to the cabin for a warm bath.



but not before we did some snow angles.



back at the cabin.



It snowed even more.

We had a great time and everything went very smoothly until.......



....Our car got a little BOOBOO :( We spun out on the ice on our way home and hit a car that had stopped to put chains on. We were actually really blessed that the car was there, other wise we would have ended up down the embankment. No one was hurt and we were able to borrow some chains from the people we hit since their car wasn't drivable any longer.

It looks like you had a great time! You choose a good weekend to get up there with the fresh snow!

I'm glad nobody was hurt in your little accident.

Evelyn is super cute in that snow suit! How fun... well until you smashed your car up! I'm glad you and your family weren't smashed up too. :)

Bummer about the car! If you guys need help with rides while it is being fixed, just let me know.
