Festive Frolicking

My fun, festive weekend was bookmarked by sick kids.  Alexander recovered in time for us to pack up and visit my in-laws outside of Tweed.  We spent Saturday frolicking in the snow in the wilderness.

There was sliding:

Tree cutting:

Angel Making:

 

And beer (it's good in the winter, it stays cold):

The kids had so much fun and fresh air they were falling asleep over dinner.  Sunday was spent hot tubbing, more sliding, watching Ratatouille and relaxing. 

Then the other shoe dropped--Emma wasn't looking too good; but not with the same thing as her brother.  We sent her to school Monday, mostly because there was a Brownie party she wanted to attend; but she didn't make it.  And we've been home with tea and honey and lots of tv.  The tree is still outside waiting to be trimmed and I just started my Christmas shopping with a big Land's End order and I have a lot of work to do at work. 

On the bright side, the kids are getting pesky viruses out of the way before we're off for two weeks.  And I'm getting some unexpected knitting time.

Great pix! Looks like one of those idyllic weekends that your kids will have wonderful memories of. Love your angel. Too bad about the bugs but, as you say, best to get them out of the way now.

Ahhhh snow angels. We don't get to do that in Texas, but we sure enjoy cold beer!

It looks like you had a wonderful time! The kids are so cute with the tree. Hope everyone is well soon!
