This is a bit late, but wanted to write a quick post. We were able to get away for the long president's day weekend. It was so much fun! We decided to head up to the cabin for a little weekend get-a-way. Stephen and I went up a day early...he told me I wasn't allowed to do anything the entire weekend since Monday was my birthday. So...I didn't and it was wonderful! I loved spending time with just the two of us up their alone. Stephen made me some delicious steak & mushrooms for my birthday dinner. It was really delicious. I keep trying to convince him that he needs to show off his cooking skills more often at home. He just says I wouldn't appreciate my birthday dinners as much, if he did this on a regular basis. :)
We were able to lay around and relax. It was so quite and beautiful. It was truly breathtaking just looking out the windows. I loved being in the mountains with the sun shimmering off of about 4 or 5 feet of snow.
Then most of my family came up the next day. We stayed up late chatting, laughing, and playing games. The next day everyone had to spend sometime outside playing in the snow. It's amazing how much more snow there is up there. The trails for good sledding hills are endless when you're at the cabin. They spent over 3 hours outside playing around. Even the "big kids" got into making snow tunnels and riding the 4-wheelers. It was so wonderful to get-a-way and be able to spend my birthday with my family!

Most of the kids loved going down the steepest hills, but climbing back up in the deep snow was a bit tricky. :)
