Winthrop

As we try to do every year, we spent a long weekend away to help get us in the Christmas Spirit. We headed over to Winthrop and stayed at a cabin at the Rivers Edge Resort. With our own private hot tub on the deck, overlooking the river, it was a pretty relaxing weekend. We played in the snow, went sledding and almost witnessed Sean seriously injure himself going down an off-limits sledding hill. My mom and I laughed so hard we almost peed our pants. Who knew my husband was such a daredevil? We enjoyed making a gingerbread house, christmas cookies and watching christmas movies and playing games. We had a wonderful weekend!

We pulled the boys on their sleds down the main street and shopped a little...

and warmed up with coffee and cookies at the bakery.

Our Gingerbread House! Isn't it beautiful?! We had a near fatal collapse situation and amazingly kept the house together. We were so proud!

We made Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer Nutter Butter cookies!



And had breakfast at our favorite restaurant: Duck Brand

Mmmmm....it was delicious!

The sweetest thing was hearing Lake pray, asking God for it to snow.

When we showed up on Thursday, there was absolutely no snow. We knew it was in the forecast, so Lake made everybody be quiet, close their eyes and fold their hands and he prayed out loud. He did that about 5 times on Thursday and sure enough, Friday it snowed! A lot!
