We finally arrived only to find out that my mom's little Civic was having trouble making it up the steep road to the cabin. Wes and I descended in the van--its weight an advantage--to assist them. At one point I fell and hurt my knee, my dad dented the car while leaning on it and we nearly hit someone. Eventually we had to leave the little Honda at the bottom of a hill in someone's driveway (we got permission by the way).
I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking. Suffice to say the snow was deep and stunning. Carter ended up really enjoying our sledding expedition despite the fact that he wasn't too thrilled about the cold. Claire was clingy and didn't want much to do with any of the cold white stuff.
Finally, after putting together this post, I've decided what makes my blogging voice unique: really bad humor. Before every picture I come up with the lamest jokes. So, at least realize that I am cognizant that I am not that funny but the most important thing is that I crack myself up. (;

Big thanks to goes out to Wes for his heroics helping me get these things on and off. What a pain.
The definition of cozy!
I really like this sign that Chani and Marilyn put up because I am a huge believer in the importance
and power of imagination.

The fear we strike in our opponents is half the battle:

Claire stumbled into the game after waking up late but
scored a touchdown immediately:

I think when my mom envisioned the cabin this is probably
exactly what she saw herself doing...
staring blankly with a slight grin and absolutely no where
to go and no one to call:

particular trip:

Departing to sled:
"Uh, oh Daddy!" says Claire as I plummet down the bunny
slope.
Like father, like son:
I tried to get some action shots:
Sarah and Carter flying down the hill and my annoying,
raspy laugh:

I love Claire's "Uh Oh!" So cute that she was concerned.
