East Coast Storm 2009


Mike and Damon were invited to our friends cabin (second home) down at the Wintergreen Resort in Virginia, to break in their ski's during the massive East Coast storm that hit the weekend before Christmas. They drove for 5 hours (would have normally been about 3 hours without the storm) - and skied the next day in the blizzard. Not the best weather for skiing (white out conditions) - but they all still had a good time.

Because of how bad the roads were the night before, the friends that invited Mike and Damon over, didn't even make it to their own house. They stayed in another city on the way down in a hotel, while Mike and Damon were sleeping in their house. This picture was taken when they finally all met up with each other Saturday afternoon....Such cute little friends
deep snow. As for you Utahn's, I know this is not that big of a deal to you...but this much snow is HUGE deal around here!

the trail they dug out to the hot tub...yes, the little boys did cannon balls into the hot tub...in FREEZING weather
the house
snow piling up....

By the way - Brixton and I also had a wonderful, relaxing weekend....spent sleeping, cuddling, and making Christmas cards. It was actually really relaxing not being able to leave our house.

Hi Michelle, I am glad you got to go to Utah and that you are back now so that there exists the possibility (physical possibility) that we can hang out! :) Isnt this weather awful? Looks like your boys had a fun weekend. You know you are a seasoned mom when staying all by yourself with a baby is relaxing and easy.
